What to say about my favorite cousin and best friend through 6th grade. Melanie, if you and Mandy ever want to pick my brain, let me know. We had some VERY fun times together ( and some not so fun...) I loved Shelly very much and will miss her so much.

RIP Shelly,
Shelly was one of the most dedicated and honest employees I have ever had as Auditor of Linn County Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She was a riot to be around. Jim Morgan, Shelly and I had so much fun at County conventions.
