Shelley was my niece by marriage. She was beautiful as a child, and beautiful as an adult.
Shelley was one of the most precious and loving mother, wife and an amazing Best friend. Although things got rocky between us I have always loved you for your witty and sarcastic humor and a heart as huge as the universe. She always knew how to make me smile and the time we had together was some of the most amazing adventures and memories. It is hard to find the words because words don’t come easily for me, I have them in my head but I don’t know how to write them down. When the memories flow I cry and when I think about never talking to you again I cry I wish I could talk to you one more time and tell you how important you really were and still are!! I will just have to look up to the sky now and talk to you I just wish I could hear you talk back. It’s goodbye for now but I will see you again someday when it’s my time to fly. Love you.
Thinking of you all today, Shelley was an amazing friend and I will miss her terribly💜
Shelley was a person of so much wit and fun. Shelley stood up for what was right especially at Liberty and she was a sweet person to so many. Kindness was so important to her and doing the right thing. I will miss you Shelley but know this we will meet again. Cant wait girl.
Shelley and her doting parents. When she was little, her dad, Steve, could hardly stand to let her on the swings in case she fell. She never did, as far as I know. We Muller kids probably told her to swing higher!
Shelley & I were second cousins - we both grew up in Dallas, she two years younger than I - and we went to different schools. Her mother, Ruth, who passed away on Christmas 2023, was my mother’s first cousin. Ruth would take Shelley and me on all sorts of fun outings: Six Flags, Disney movies, Dallas Zoo; Shelley and I would guffaw out loud a funny movies, like the Pink Panther; whenever I was at her house, she HAD to see “Dark Shadows” creepy TV show, which I hated, but she loved! I attended her Halloween party when we were kids & her mother turned out all the lights - and we saw a how in the dark orb floating around - Shelley screamed - with delight I might add. She LOVED Halloween. She loved zany comedy, like “I Love Lucy”, “The 3 Stooges.” And she and I would sing to “Sound of Music” records; and we’d watch the “Wizard of Oz” on its annual telecast (on our black & white TV). She was smart, funny & fun. I’m missing her Facebook tags of silly stuff already. Rest in peace my dear friend and cousin.
I love u so much mommy and I miss u more than words express,it literally feels like I'm missing the other half of me
