The world has truly lost a friend, Shelly was never mean to anyone, never met a stranger and had the easiest smile anyone has ever seen, Sadie, Be strong in the knowledge that your mom is watching over you and is so proud of you, Sarah, know that you have made her the happiest sister in the world for all you have done for her that she could not do for herself, Bubba and Bryan, the love that was felt for you by Shelly was clear everytime she looked at either of you even when we were all kids, no one could have loved you more. So sorry for all of your loss, she will be so missed and so cherished until we are all together again!

Shelly,
My sweet Shelly. I got the call today from Sadie and I just don't know what to say. Girl you brought so much joy to so many peoples lives. You were so beautiful inside and out. You kept things 100 and thats all anybody really can ask for in a friend. You know its funny but you never really reflect on happy memories until someone that helped make them happy passes away. Girl we had fun together!!! I know where you are today cause I know what you were when you were here. You were one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. You were a most loving and caring mother. You devoted your life to your children. My friend you are free now nothing binds you in any way. Just watch over the loved ones you left behind. I know they are suffering. I use to envy the love you and your family possessed for each other. Yall always found a way to forgive and love each other. Sadie if you need anything I am here for you. Oh and Shelly if you can see this now please don't try and re-decorate heaven lol They don't need a new sofa and God is fine with the color of the curtains lol I love you and you are sadly missed. Sadly!!!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
