    I remember Shelly as a neighbor, babysitter, piano student and just a sweet caring person. I was so shocked to read of her death. My condolences go out to Rollie and Darlene.

    I will remember Shelly such a great person and always being there for everyone. We went to school together in grade school and high school. She was always there for all of us. Will miss her dearly but I know she is at peace! I send prayers to all her family. Such a great friend! Ann ( Weidner) Morey.
