I worked with Shelly on a few political campaigns and caught up with her recently in her last days. She cared about people and justice and the future. We need more people like her. Thank you, Shelly, for your life of service.

To Shelly´s family, my condolences. We worked together for years at FLC. Most recently we would see each other at Rotary events or the FLC Old Tyler´s Picnic. She will be missed.
