"She is gone" by David Harkins
You can shed tears that she is gone,Or you can smile because she has lived.You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back,Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left.Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,Or you can be full of the love that you shared.
The family wishes to send a special thank you to VITAS Healthcare for their compassion and exceptional care during our difficult times.
Per Michelle’s request, there will be no services or visitation hours. Donations may be made to Yale Cancer Center online in memory.
Shelly was always someone you could talk to, fun to be around, she was a great mom and always welcomed her brother Sean's son, her nephew Tyler Bohndorf-Kane despite family differences,
You will always be remembered, loved, and missed greatly! Life is to precious, live, love, forgive!
