I went to school with Shelva and was very sad when I saw her obituary. We shared a lot of personal things with each other and will never forget when she came to my son’s family night to see me. This is a tremendous loss to her family knowing how she cared about them and worried about them at the same time. She loved her children and her husband dearly. I will Always remember you and the time we shared.
