Jeffrey Hladek (brother)

The day I lost my sister was the worst day of my life. It's hard to imagine that on this day my sister would never meet my first girlfriend, be at my wedding, or become the aunt that was going to spoil my kids. As hard as it is to say and realize, she has left us, but received in the arms of Jesus. The many lives she impacted will never forget this day. One such life being mine.

Passion, strength and spirit. These are the building blocks that will set us along our path in life.
The passion; the aspiration of something better. Strength; the ability to meet that potential. Spirit; the will to carry your dream to its end.
We are not all created equal, but one thing is assured. We will be remembered by how we used these 3 gifts. Some will be known to everyone through history, others will be forgotten. To lose someone so early in life, one can only wonder what marvels could have been created.
So for me, she will not only be missed for what she accomplished, but for all that she has left undone.
James Hunsucker

Shelby,
We are crushed by the timing of your departure. Your leaving leaves a huge hole in all of our hearts. We are very proud of the way that you lived your life. It takes a big person to not conform to this troubled world, but to instead live like the Father has called you to live. Your example was one that others should follow. You will be missed until we all see you again. Until then I will see you later. Love always, Uncle Will
