To Shelby´s family: I am so sorry to hear of Shelby`s passing. I knew her from exercising at the Goochland YMCA early in the mornings. She was always friendly and smiling, with a cheerful thought to share. I always enjoyed seeing her and chatting with her. Shelby told me to remember her name by thinking of the Shelby mustang. :-) "What we have once enjoy deeply, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." ~Helen Keller
