To my family at FG...

shelbell · 03-13-2009, 10:36 PM

My words are not enough to thank all of you that sent your wishes, hopes, prayers and good thoughts.

The visitation was so very hard to make it thru. Today was the funeral which was almost unbearable...I wanted to run out of the chapel and just scream "this is NOT real, it is a nightmare that I can't wake up from". My youngest daughter Jessi (16) has also taken this really hard. She has been beside me or close by the whole time. I think she's watching me to make sure I'm ok, and watching to make sure I don't go away too. That girl is my reason for hanging on and not giving up, whether she realizes it or not.

Thank you all for the beautiful plants and flowers. I can't wait til it's warm enough to plant them safetly outside. It will be a wonderful thing for me to do with all my daughters and grandsons.

To floppy: Diane you have no idea what an impact you had on me these past two days. I was so glad you finally got to meet my girls, and now you understand what I'm talking about when I talk about the bond I have with Jessi. Thanks so much for the hugs, kisses, and I love you's...I wont tell anyone about the tears, I wouldn't want to ruin your reputation!

I love you girl!

To Odie: Joan, you have given me so much support for so long. Listening to all my life crap that was going on. Then this happened and all that other stuff just went to the curb. I loved hearing from you on the phone. It was so good to actually put a voice to your face and your words, and in that you gave me comfort. I love you too sis.

Thank you all.

Shel

I just had to post one more picture in memory of Grant, doing what he loved so much...being at a Chicago Cubs game and singing his heart out. I love you baby.

Hold tight to memories for comfort Shel

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel for you

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. We are here for you babe
