I knew Michelle (as we knew her) over thirty years ago when we were graduate students at the University of Iowa. She was one of the sweetest, kindest, most artistically talented, and vivacious people I have ever known. I have thought of her fondly and often over the many years since. I regret deeply that I didn't try to resume our friendship before her tragic, very early death nine years ago.
With Love and Fond Memories Always,

Shelly and I were friends from an early age in sunday school and walking to and from school in jr. high. I spent many happy hours in her home and with her family. They and she were very special. I'll miss her even though many years had passed since visiting. I liked to catch up when I would see Paul and Lois. So sorry!

My heart is heavy. I have been looking for Michele on and off for a few years ~ and I cannot find the words at this moment...Michele, as she wanted to be known as a freshman at SWTSU (Texas State Univ.) was the first person I met as I settled into our dorm...great friends for the four or so years of school - then we drifted and did not stay in touch ... oh, damn - she was and from what I have gathered here, indeed firey and ever the individual...a true original. I have thought of her often - - - so sorry to learn of her life and death this way, a bittersweet discovery if ever there was one.
Peace to all of her family, loves, friends and aquaintances - heaven knows now as all who have known her that they've got one of the best in their midst.... with love, Ann Hedgepeth, formally from Magnolia, Texas.

I have not seen Shelly since we graduated from high school, but had heard that she was in California. What fond memories I have of her, the first being from elementary school and Camp Fire. Of all the years that I knew Shelly, she never failed to have a smile and a kind word. When I think of her, I remember her laugh...the kind that continues to make me smile. She was kind-hearted and a friend to everyone. I know that she will be truly missed by all. My sincere condolences to all her family and friends.

It was devasting to hear of Shelly's passing. My heart hurts, as does everyone elses. After reading so many of these testimonials, I can only wish I could be half the person Shelly was. I'll forever remember her at a certain sophomore party I had and the times I went to her house and we made tacos for the family. I'll remember her for alot of things, but I'll remember her most for liking me for me. It made no difference that I was Spanish, or wasn't of "social standing" as others, or anything else. She and her family both made me feel so much a part of them. Mamma and Pappa "Scoot", Karen, Judy and Barbara, may the good Lord be by your sides during this most tragic time.

It saddens me to hear of our loss of Shelly. I have known her for the greater part of my life and she was always a joy to be around. Hereford certainly gave us wonderful friendships, even though contact has not been constant. To Shelly's family, my prayers are with you and know our fond memories of Shelly will be with us forever.

I am sad to hear of Shelly's death - my sincere condolences to her family. I was disappointed she did not get to attend our class reunion this past summer. As I looked through our senior yearbook today, it was no surprise that she was our "Senior Class Favorite." She was a joy to be around, and the number of entries from former classmates bears witness to the impression she made on us all. The Scott family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Shelly was one of those people who never leave your life once you've met them. It never seemed odd to wind up on some random flight and find Shelly sitting there. Over the years we traded sporadic pictures and emails. The last time we spoke was just before last year's reunion; both regretting that we would miss the opportunity to see each other and our classmates as neither of us could attend. To her family and friends I offer my condolensces. Shelly made the world a brighter place and her death is difficult to accept.

I hadn't seen Shelly since High School but I constantly look at the yearbook and wonder what has become of everyone. I don't remember seeing Shelly at any of the Class Reunions, but I wish I had. Shelly is now with God and with other dear friends from our Class we lost through the years. My thoughts and prayers are with the Scott Family. She will be missed.

It's really kinda neat when you go to a high school reunion as I did in 2007. I suppose the one thing I enjoyed the most is how we've all changed. I can't remember if Shelly attended or not. I suppose that is age getting to me. This was my first reunion of "HHS 77" since the five year in 1982. What I remember the most about Shelly is her smile. She always seemed positive and upbeat. I can tell you she was a lot of fun. Her sister Barbara and one of my sisters were friends, so you get to know a person even more when there is that much involvement between families. Standing next our Lord and Creator she is in a much better place than we are. Missed but not forgotten.

My sympathies to all of Shelly's family. She was always a fun and vibrant girl in high school, and she'll be missed.

I grew up with Shelly living right around the corner from us. Barbara and I were good friends so I spent alot of time there. Shelly had the most spirited personality of anyone I knew and will always remember her laughter and quick wit. Our prayers and thoughts are with the Scott family, I know she will be missed.

It's been almost 31 years since I last saw Shelly, but her memories are still very clear to me. Shelly was full of laughter and a smile, but much more she was caring and a good friend. Shelly and I shared many big belly laughs through the years in school, and Camp Fire. Camp was the best with Shelly there. She will be missed by many I know. God Bless

To Paul and Lois Scott ( Shelly's Parents) Thelma and I know how much of a loss you must feel, but rest assured Shelly is with God and friends now. She will be missed by ones she left behind.

Memories of Shelly are among some of my favorite days in Hereford High School. Always full of laughter and smiles, her humor and sarcasm raised the eyebrows of teachers and brought fun to class. She was a dear soul and it is hard to believe she is gone. My condolences to her wonderful family. She will be truly missed.

When we were kids we met, in the 3rd grade, we shared, we loved, and we laughed. Shelley always had a smile on her beautiful face and always expressed kindness to me. As we grew through to high school we continued to be a part of our small town school family. She was a ray of sunshine to a timid person like me. May she be always be remebered as the sunshine that she was and the ray of sunshine that she will always be in my memories. My deepest sympathy and prayers to the family.

We are sadden by this news of the loss of our friend Shelly. Rowan and I have gone to school with Shelly and Barbara and we all grew up in Hereford. Alot of good times with friends. To Shelly's California friends, we know that you were always smiling while around Shelly. You just can't help it. The Scott's are a wonderful and loving family. Just know that the next beautiful sunset you see, just look for Shelly's signature at the bottom, i am sure she played a part in it's beauty. Paint the skies Shelly, we will be watching.

I grew up with Shelly in Hereford, her faimly and mine were friends. She was probably one of the first girls that I met when I moved to Hereford in 3rd grade. She was always a delight to be with. My condolences to all of her friends and her wonderful family who must be devastated at this tragic loss.

Michele embodied the spirit of life. She changed my life forever, and I know she profoundly affected others. I regret I was not a more constant friend. This so wrong....the world is more empty
