Today marks the two year anniversary of the day that we lost Shelly.
I may not be on here much anymore but that doesn't mean that I don't think about all of you. I'm still not really on speaking terms with the "big guy upstairs" but because of what we all went through together, I still have my faith in humanity.
I know most of us from that time are friends on Facebook but I just wanted to share my thoughts here too. I still love all of you and will always be here for you if ever you need me.

I can not believe it's been 2-years. I still remember your post saying "We've lost Shelly" and my heart sinking.
Thank you for reminding us of her anniversary.
And thank you to everyone on here. You are all real friends.
I've been thinking about her this past week, knowing the anniversary was coming up.
{{hugs}}
Thanks ladies.
Michelle - No. Her page is still there. I posted on it today. For some reason, it's hard to search for and it isn't taggable though. I tried to tag her on my status today but it wouldn't pull it up to tag. It's weird. Not sure if it's a FB glitch or because her page has been "inactive" for two years.
For those wanting an update - Tom and Ella are very happy. Tom remarried this past June to a woman who adores Ella. I believe Tom tells Ella about her mother and I know he took her to visit her today. If anyone wants a more detailed update, feel free to PM me on here or on FB or via email - tracigator at bellsouth dot net.
This is so eerie b/c I had not remembered the exact anniversary, but she suddenly popped into my head just last evening and I couldn't get her out of my mind. I wondered about Tom and Ella (glad to hear they are doing well). Then I saw your FB this morning and I felt like something powerful must have laid her on my heart last night. I can't believe its been 2 years though. It just doesn't seem possible.

Big Hugs to you. I can't believe it's been 2 years already. I hope you are doing well!
I can't believe it's been two years already. Lots of hugs for you Traci, and for Kim. I think I'll always picture her siggy with her, Tom, and Ella at the pumpkin patch when I think of her. I'm so glad that Ella and Tom are doing well.
I saw a shooting star the evenign of the day she passed. Seemed so fitting.
Now every time i see a shooting star, I think of her.

I couldn't say it any better than this so am stealing from Danielle...Traci, you and Tom and Ella will be in my thoughts and prayers today and always. Hoping you're remembering the joys as well as the sorrow of losing her; can't believe it's been 2 years already. ((hugs))
Oh Traci, I am so sorry that you have to live with such a gaping hole in your heart. I lost 2 good friends when I was in high school and I still feel such a sadness from their absence in my life. It's just so hard to wrap your brain around the fact that life goes on, even without them. I wonder all the time what their lives would be like today, almost 15 years later. I don't share that to make you feel worse, but to let you know that I can sympathize with your pain.
I hope that you are able to come to terms with her death and find some peace with your greiving. Big hugs to you from me!!
Thanks for posting. I guess I'm an old timer but I'm not on the boards as much as I once was. Ella is in our music class. I nearly fell over when I saw her and Tom walk in. She is the spitting image of Shelly. Such a beautiful and happy little girl. Funny how even after 2 years it breaks your heart to think about. Good to know that her memory goes on and on.
PS- You know, after all these years,we've never found eachother on Facebook.
Shmoo is growing up!
