"Scott, Jake, and Ash, I am so sorry for your loss. Shelli was the kindest soul that I have ever met. She helped me in Rochester. She provided me with comfort and love at a time of desperation for me. I have never been treated with more empathy and kindness than shelli treated me. I am blessed to have known her. I cannot believe this has happened. With love, Maria"
