My beautiful mother passed away on a Sunday afternoon at home on November 2nd. We knew this day was coming but nothing can prepare you, and as I look back it all sort of seems like a dream.... other than the ache that is left in my heart! Nothing will be the same without her, but life carries on and we all keep those memories close with the faith that we will all be reunited again someday which in only a blink of an eye in Eternity.
This is the beautiful flower arrangement my dad picked for the casket. In it he put my moms flute and her dad's hat which my mom wore a lot!
This is the flower bouquet we picked out from all the grandchildren. In it they put grandmas high heels shoes and her black hat which they all remember.
In this arrangement from all of her children we put the willow tree angels that she has on her dresser of Mother & son, and Mother & daughter.
At the viewing we displayed a lot of my mom's life, it turned out good even though it does not do justice to the type of person she was!
All the boys she held close to her heart carried the casket with heavy hearts.
The Family!
A moment of silence!
The Shelley family! We love you all.
Me and Jared! 
"Angel of healing grace!" I love these angels that truly give you love and peace.

I want you to know I love you so much. I have been missing Mom alot today and real emotional.
I am really happy you are my sister and that we are an eternal family. I guess I will have to be your Mom for awhile and you will have to be mine. I promise I won't be to bossy. I'll just listen to what you have to say.
