Shell,I don't know where to start it just.Doesn't seem real that your not here with us l just know your in a better place.Thank GOD for the time l had with you miss you so much Love you..... always your couisn Lizzy Rest IN Peace.

Even though Shell was my first cousin, she was a dear friend.  When I first moved here she made it her mission to come over and make sure that Glennda and myself knew the streets of Arizona.  She also showed me how to drive a stick, that was an experience.  I thank the Lord for allowing her to be a part of my life, and allowing us to have her for the 38 years that we did have her.  Shell you will be missed.

Time can only heal the pain that was caused so suddenly, to such a sweet, loving, caring, person as my beloved cousin. For God only knows our beginning & ending for when heavens gates opened upon your arrival we just didn't know how to handle the pain of you not being here  but when I begin to think about the reward of seeing you again, I begin to rejoice love you Shell, And to my family love you all stay encourage.

Shell...I know you're here with me and the family.  I truly miss you and love you so much, but it hurt so much, cause I can't personally tell you in person.  My heart is so heavy, and the pain unbearable.  You will never be left out of anything I and the family do...cause we will be doing it in your honor. Please continue to dance and sing...I see you everyday when I close my eyes.  Kisses and Hugs, Kiss, Kiss, Kiss.
Arizona's Hero, for saving another person life...wish your life would of been saved also.

Love you Always,
