Shelleykins I miss you so much. Not many days go by without thinking of all the things we never had a chance to do together. You would laugh at the things I've done and you would love to share the love with people I have met that you never got to know existed. They all know about you. I make sure of that. It seems like yesterday we were in the pool laughing and smiling. I'm so much older now and I miss you very much. I know you are in a better place now, watching over Layla and family. You had the brightest smile anyone could ask for. I will always pass your stories and songs along to all the people that I meet that you would have loved to love with me. Because you like big butts and you cannot lie. I love you Shelleykins.

Its only been a short while since we lost you. You touched so many hearts here on earth. I would have never thought that that night would have been the last that we spoke. We don't quite understand what happened that night. So many unanswered questions. You leave behind family and friends who miss you so much. You touched so many lives and made people happy. I want to thank you for being my friend, my best friend as you were to many others. I learned alot from you and I am happy to have had to the chance to have you in my life. I miss you alot, we talked so much about life and you helped me to stay focused after David. Thank you. You always made a difference to everyone you met. I still have the silly text msgs from the last night everything happened. I know that you are watching down on us each and everyday, so until we met again, as you would always end our call...
Hey Kelley, Guess what??

Turner Family,

My prayers are with all the Turner and Beaton families.

Its always so sad when someone so special as Shelley is taken. Although she is gone she left a large part of her here through Layla, which has all of her beautiful qualities. If you were loved by Shelley, you were truely blessed. I was blessed of knowing Shelley for a few short years, but in that short time the memories will last a lifetime. Love to all!!!

Dear Steph, Layla, and Turner

Family,

God only takes the best i guess he needed shelley's wonderful sense of humor and barrel of laughs when he decided it was her turn to go. She is going to be missed a great deal. But one thing i know for sure is she is sitting on her baby girls shoulders right now watching out for her the best way she can from heaven. Layla you are so much like your mom and i know she is going to live on in you. Shelley i want to thank you for sending me another neice one that i will love which for her it wont be hard she just steals your heart instantly and she has all of your wonderful qualities even your smile. Rest in peace Shelley. My thoughts and prayers are with you all through this untimely sorrow. Love you all, Danielle beaton

I have not hung out with Shelley since after graduating from High School, but in my yearbook, she wrote, "Remember me".

And I plan to do that, I'll remember her smile, her jokes, our joyous and sad moments.

I'm praying for Layla and the Turner family, may God comfort each of you is my prayer.

Be blessed,

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Shelley, I don't know how to say goodbye so I won't. Instead I keep talking to you in spirit because I know that you are at peace with your mom. No worries, Layla will be okay with all the love you have left behind for her. But, missing you is a giving. Your smile, laughter, jokes, pranks and encouraging words of wisdom. Guard us well new Angel. God Bless!!!

Dear Turner Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of heartache. Shelley was a dear friend. It doesn't matter if we hadn't seen each other in a while or saw each other yesterday, we always knew that no matter what, we would always be here for each other. Shelley was a great person, loving friend and mother, and always a smiling face. She will truly be missed. Just know that she is the most beautful angel in heaven now and she will be looking over all of us and watching that beautiful baby that she created.

SHELLY...Man, there's so much to say and yet so little space. People are not meant to live life alone; this is why god made Adam and Eve. The memories that we hold together will never be forgotten, it's impossible because history has already been made. From a girl to a woman you have possessed many great qualities: funny, Careing, and non judgmental. To me you were one of my sisters, a person I could tell anything to! I wouldn't trade growing up with you, or your family for anything; it only made me apart of a bigger family, and a big family at that!! I only wish I could have one moment longer with you, so I could share how much I LOVE YOU! I know you and mom are looking over my shoulders.I'll see you when I get there!Sending my Love to Step and Butch..I LOVE YOU ALL

Dear sweet Shelley,

People like you are rare. You always had a smile or joke for everyone you came in contact with and made everyone feel good. You never said a bad word about anyone.

Layla is such a wonderful and special child with so much of you in her that will live on with us. Your dedication and love for her was boundless. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to Monica who loves you and Layla so much.Thank you for the time we had with you on this earth. You made such a difference in the short time you were here.I am so proud of you and the person you became. You will always have a special place in our hearts and we love you and will miss you greatly. Shelley - guess what????

To that always cheerful person that could make anyone laugh, Shelley:

I never thought when I left the office that day that it would be the last time I saw you. I'm gonna miss the laughs, picking on you, and of course, you picking on me back.

Shelly,

It is always so sad when someone special is taken away from us. I haven't seen you since the ACS Relay-For-Life, and we never got a chance to hang out or go camping like I talked about with Veronica, but you will always have a special place in my heart just from the little time I knew you. I'm so glad we got to know each other working at good old KPI. Your life was too short, and you were taken so soon, but I know you are in Heaven smiling down right now with that beaming, unforgettable smile. I will always remember you, and I will see you again one day.

To the Turner family, you are in my thoughts and prayers in this time of loss. God is with you, and He will carry you through.

God Bless,

Nikki

Words can not express how much heartache & pain I feel for losing such a wonderful person like Shelley. She always made me laugh, even when I wanted to cry and she was so fun to be around. We just recently got back in touch with each other and it was like old times all over again. I know she is an angel looking down on us and I know she's saving a place for me! Love you Always Shelley! Keep smiling in Heaven!

I will always love you and remember all the good times we shared. I still love you even though I was never in the "Cool Cabin". I miss you and hope we can meet up in heaven one day. I know you will still be my Bridesmaid at my Wedding. Don't forget its May 26th 2006! I Love You Forever Shelley!

Turner Family,

As always, your family remains in our thoughts and prayers. How blessed were we to have her upon us for the short time we did, for she was an Angel that God allowed to walk with us until He needed her back. She made such an impact on sooo many lives and she will never be Forgotten! May our hearts and minds be consoled knowing that we will be together again, only when the time is right. For now she continues to walk along our side silently, just watch out because she has a real funny sense of humor and she just might make you trip along the way just for laughs. WE LOVE YOU SHELLEY!!!!!!!

To the family of Shelley,

I am the sister of Laila's father. As I am writing this I am in tears, because I still cannot believe that she is gone. She will be deeply missed... I am glad that she knew the importance of family and chose to look for my father so that Laila would know the rest of her family. That just shows how loving and caring Shelley was. When ever I saw her she had a smile on her face. I will miss her so much. Rest in Peace Shelley, you are gone but you will never be forgotten.

I Loved Shelley so much. I will always cherish the times that I was able to spend with her. I know it comes as a great loss to all of us. We don't know why the people we love the most are taken away so suddenly, but we must remember the joy they provided in our lives. Shelley was a great joy to many others and me. Please stay strong and remember we, her friends, are with you in Prayer and our thoughts. My Love

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.
