Shelly was the best and only stepmom/bonus mom I had. I had so much fun getting food from a restaurant, going shopping, hanging out at her work places, taking me to and from school, and so much more. I’m happy she got to see my graduate high school this past year but I’m sad that my own sister Lilly won’t get that.
Shelly was the first friend I made after moving into a new neighborhood. Her smile would brighten anyone's day, and she had a great spirit. She will truly be missed!
I will never forget, I had recently moved to the Charlotte area, was waiting tables with Shelly at Carrabba's and it was Thanksgiving. Shelly was kind of enough to invite me to her family's dinner, only knowing me through work and knowing I had no where to go. That was the type of person Shelly was. Fun, loving, caring, a special type of person you don't come across every day. My heart breaks for Shelly's family, her husband, and kids. I have nothing but love for her and wish the Lord watches over Shelly and her family and can help bring them peace among this most difficult time. Shelly, you were a truly special person and I was lucky to have even met you, let lone know you were a part of my life when things weren't the easiest for me. Much love Shelly.
