Dear Marcia,
I am so sorry that I didn’t get a chance to see you before you left this world. My Sha Sha will hold a very special place in my heart forever. I’m so thankful for the talks we were able to have when you were in Pittsfield. Give Gram and Gramp a big hug for me and please say hi to my Dad, as well as all the French boys. I’m sure they were there to greet you. I will miss you tremendously, and hold you dear to my heart forever. The memories at that farm house are the best ones I will ever have, you helped make me the person I am today. Rest in peace until we meet again.
Love Forever and Always, Shelley
