Dear Shelly, Even after these many years, I remember how much we loved you, Anthony and your dear children. You were so kind to me, Liv, and Lainey. We all so yearned for your healing. I remember trying to plant the vision of you on a porch somewhere with Shelby´s children on your knees. Still, after years and years, my heart aches that vision did not come to pass in this world. We all wanted it so utterly. May there be a world where all your pain is stilled and your family joyously surrounds you. With love for all of you, always. Scott

I am not sure who will be reading this, I am not sure who I am writing to...a year after her death, I am just finding out that Shelly is gone. I am an old friend from high shcool; we used to be very close and while we haven't seen each other for many years she is someone that I have never forgotten and still think of often. From time to time I have tried to look her up, to no avail, until today when I decided to google her name and found her obituary. I am so shocked and so sad, even after not being in touch for so long. God bless you, her husband, children, parents and friends.

Anthony and the beautiful children know that Shelly is in God's arms, with only health and happiness in her heart. She will forever be an angel watching over them.

I remember our days at HP talking about having our babies. I remember our walks in Antelope talking about you being pregnant with the twins. I remember you moving to FL. I missed you then. All our thoughts are with your husband and your kids as they go through this most difficult time. Teena B
