I remember your wedding and the happiness you shared with her. I am sorry that i never got to meet Jackie but hopefully that will still happen some day.

It has been hard to absore the lost of Shelly. From the first summer we met in Clearwater, FL to the many other times we were in FL it was alway fun being with Shelly. Her wonderful parents allowed her to come home with my family from FL that summer and many more summers and other times. In return Shelly and family had me staying with them many times. My brothers and I, along with cousins, had so much fun with her.
I know Doug, Jackie & Brett and the grandchildren will miss her. I hope you always remember what a very special, loving & fun person she was. I will never forget her!
