She made such a positive impact on my life as I did on hers. ❤️," she wrote, alongside a selfie of the two together.
"I have a sense of peace and calm over me right now and maybe that feeling is from her. I knew Shelley’s health was declining over the past few months but I didn’t want to post about it publicly. She was so appreciated and cherished until the end.","I knew this was coming so I visited with Shelley often. Weirdly enough, I was thinking deeply about her this morning and the recent meeting we had right before I found out. Not sure how to navigate loosing a friend but also my idol.
