I get so sad when you randomly popinto my head through out the day. I cry thinking about Michael and how he'll never know his sweet loving mother who would do anything for him. And sadly he's so young he won't even remember. I love you sweet angel. Fly high!

RIP Shelley, I've known you since kindergarten and it's always hard to say goodbye to people you've known all your life. I hope you sing your heart out with Michael Jackson in heaven. Your laugh, smile, voice, and personality will forever be alive down here on earth because you impacted all of our lives and left your mark on our hearts. See you again friend. Until then watch over all of us, you'll forever be in our hearts.

Shelley I am having a hard time believing that you are gone...I love you girl and will miss you dearly. Your son just got a guardian angel and I'm sure you're shining down on him everyday. To The Doresy family I hope that with time you will heal and that little Michael will put a smile on your faces and warm your hearts.

I haven't written in your guest book until now because I haven't known what to say. I'm still not totally sure I do. Your funeral was beautiful. There were so many people there. So much love shown for the person who showed us all so much love. Your smile was so contagious. You're personality so unique. You are truly missed. Heaven gained an amazing angel and I know you will be looking out for your family and friends.

Shelley you were an amazing friend, mother and a beautiful soul and the world lost you way too soon. Your smile and laugh were so infectious and you lit up the room when you walked in it. So many memories from middle school and high school have you in them, especially in choir class. I will always remember that heavenly voice and all the laughs we shared. Even though you are gone I won't ever forget you. So many lives were touched by you and so many memories shared with you. Rest easy Shelley and look down on us all as our Guardian Angel. There will be justice for you Shelley and your son and family. My prayers are with Michael, your family and your friends who are grieving during this difficult time. I miss you and my heart breaks to say goodbye. I will see you again one day!

I'll never forget the day Shelley was born. We were in class and a message came down from the secretary to "tell Salena that she's a big sister now!" They announced it in front of the whole class and Salena's whole face lit up! That summer, when Salena and I would play together it was always a negotiated understanding that we would go to her house so I could play with Shelley for 30 minutes and then we would go to my house so Salena could play with my hamster for 30 minutes. I loved the time, but could never make her laugh the way Salena could. As life went on, I always enjoyed hearing Shelley updates anytime I talked to Salena. Beryl, Charles, Salena, Tevon - I'm so sorry you are all going through this sad, unexpected loss. I'm praying for all of you, and for all of the little ones too, that God will provide strength, comfort and peace. May you be blessed as you look into her son's eyes to see a glimpse of her still...

I haven't been able to find the words. I will never be able to pull them together to make the perfect sentence to let you know how broken I and so many others feel without you. I love you, and you were worth every moment spent...
You have been and always will be forever in my heart...
I love you.
To the Dorsey family... I can't even imagine your pain right now. I will always be here if/when you need me.

I loved Shelley from the day I first met her. We were nearly attached at the hip. We would stay up late and share our Secrets and Share our lives with one another. She always kept a smile on her face. She was strong, and so good hearted. I will miss her random phone calls in the middle of the night. I Love You Shelley!.

... Shelley, I didn't think it was true, until I saw this... You were taken too soon, and though its not fair... We've all gained a guardian angel. You brought joy to so many people. You're smile alone was enough to cheer any one up. You are so greatly missed, and forever in all of our hearts. I know that when anyone of us hear a Michael Jackson song, a high pitched laugh, or see a big bright smile... We will think of you. So many good times were shared, Katie and I.. Well Katie, could surely write a book on all the adventures ( she's the writer.) We love you Shelley, rest easily my friend.....

I could never really remember exactly how we became friends since we seemed like we were on different ends of the spectrum in high school but I do remember your smile, your humor, your love of dancing, and introducing me to more Michael Jackson music than I had heard before. The last time I saw you was in August 2014.... That was the last time we talked. I apologize for not contacting you to get together and have a play date. I will miss you very much Shelley. Your spirit will always be with us. May God welcome you and bless your beautiful little boy and family.

Oh, Shelley. I never thought I'd see this day. Words cannot describe the role you have played in my life. Part of you will always live in me and I will cherish our memories. While I am deeply saddened, I am so very grateful that I was able to spend so much of our lives together.
I will miss your incredible smile and nonchalant attitude. I will miss the fact we were always late to everything because we were always on 'Shelley time'. I will miss our pranks and eating ice cream on a bad day.
I will miss sitting in silence but feeling like we just had a great conversation.
Simply put: I will miss YOU.
Part of me will always feel empty. But I know you're never really gone.
I think Michael Jackson said it best in saying:
"Through My Joy And My Sorrow
In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow
I'll Never Let You Part
For You're Always In My Heart."
I love you so incredibly much and will miss you even more.
Save me a good seat.
