Extremely sad to hear of Shelly's passing. I worked with her for several years and always loved our long conversations when I made my trip into the office. Whether she was feeling well or not, she always had time for a laugh with me. I pray she is at peace and forever watching over the ones that she loved.

I am so sorry to hear the news about Shelly. I worked with her and she was always a caring and genuine loving person. We would share stories of dogs, and grandchildren, she really loved them. My thoughts and prayers to the family, an Angel walks with you all.
