My heartfelt condolences to Both of you Gary and Donna. I have nothing but great memories of Shelley, the farm, Rider Games, being teenagers together and working with her at Hopkins. She was a good friend and I am so happy that she had both of you in her life. Love, hugs and prayers to you at this time
Donna , please know I am thinking of you. I have such great memories and will forever cherish them. ❤
Condolences to Gary and family!
Donna, I am so sad for you, I meant what I said at her Memorial here in Victoria. You were an amazing mom to her and I have so much respect for you, from the moment I met you as a teenager and saw what a great relationship you had with Shelley I was in awe. Gary is surrounded with a lot of friends here in Victoria and I know he will eventually be okay, and he will continue to make Shelley proud. Much love to you. PS…Shelley would love the fact I dragged you to a pub for coffee while you were here, I know Gary had a good chuckle over it. Hugs, Tammie
