Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentleness of autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand on my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand on my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die!
Elizabeth Frye

Shelly established many professional and personal relationships and never took them for granted. She was a true friend, with genuine generosity, always willing to help those in need, no matter how big or small.
Shelly had a passion for animals, music, reading and children. She possessed a special gift for mentoring children and a personal devotion to teaching them how to reach their fullest potential.
Shelly had a zest for life. Her infectious laugh could brighten the darkest room, and, a smile that could light up the world. One of her greatest gifts was the ability to create laughter in all those around her.
Shelly possessed unprecedented wit and charm. She was highly fluent in sarcasm, and was able to narrow the gulf between her ingenious sarcastic wit and those who didn't get it like no other before her, or probably after her. She often wrote in 'Shelly Code' which both amused and confused, "random brain journeys" as she liked to call them.
Shelly had an uncommon fervor for all things high fashion: shoes, sunglasses, clothes, perfumes, cosmetics, anything gracing the pages of the latest edition of Vogue.

Shelly touched our lives, she touched our hearts, she will forever be missed.
Her sudden and untimely departure is not the end, yet the beginning of her eternal journey in Heaven, and a time for all those she left behind to celebrate and rejoice in her life and the short time she was with us.
Because of her fierce, loving and inquisitive spirit; her indomitable will; her warm nurturing and supportive nature; she leaves a hole in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She was a special gift to us all. In time, we hope this hole will be filled and warmed by all the wonderful memories we have of this extraordinary and vivacious woman.
Shelly is survived by her parents, Joe and Carol Sedberry of Houston, Texas. Younger sister Stacy Sedberry and younger brother, Bill Sedberry of Houston, Texas, grandmother Dorothy Amerson of Las Vegas, Nevada, an extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins, and multitude of dear lifelong friends.
