A beautiful young woman, so giving of herself to everyone, Always placing others first in front of herself. Gone to soon. There will always be a missing place in my heart. Until we meet again, be with those precious baby boys of ours.
You are a very special lady Shelli. I will miss you but you have those 2 grand babies to keep you busy. God Bless You
“Another Lincoln High Job Well Done.”
Love you Shelli. I wish I had the chance to know you longer….. But I loved every minute that we spent together you could light up a room like no other.
My heart choked up when I prayed for you in the presence of your family for you to get up and going again. I think the part where I stopped and teared was a sign from above He was calling you home. Enjoyed our short time together. Laurie kept inviting me to all your outings and I was glad I came along. It’ll but be in the twinkling of the eye in which we all will join you. Tell Jesus a few of us down here might need a little extra touch from above until we can adjust. Can’t wait to hear about those angel wings.
