Shelly, I am thankful to have known you and I'm sorry we won't have coffee together again, and have silly conversations. I miss our laughs. But I am happy to know that you are happy now, and you can do all things with our Father now. Thank you for being a great friend and may I see you again some day. Shannon, prayers for you and your family. May He bring you comfort in these hard times.

Shelly was always added a bright spot to our meetings and our Christmas party. It was a joy having him join us whenever he could. We will miss him, but we are so glad that he can now ride his motorcycle in heaven.

Shelly, I will truly miss you. I really enjoyed our visit at the hospital, and am looking forward to the day I arrive in heaven, for I know you will be there. You can ride your blue motorcycle and I will ride my red one and we will ride together, laughing all the way. Your smile was so precious to me.
Shannon, I truly planned on coming to the memorial today, but my allergies have me staying home. I am glad I was able to meet you, even though it was brief. I thank you so much for the video you shared, it made me cry as I WILL miss Shelly, he was very special to all of us that knew him. God Bless you as you travel back home, may God comfort you in this time. Psalm 23 has always been a comfort to me.

I will miss seeing his big smile every time he saw a motorcycle at our CMA gatherings. My prayers are with all who loved Shelly. He has been such a joy to have in our Iowa Cross Roads CMA chapter.

Shannon, I have no words to ease the pain. I have arms to hold you, tears to cry with you and memories that will live on forever of our Shelly. We, Iowa Crossroad Riders, were very happy to have our Shelly in our chapter. He was a joy. He was my partner at the Christmas party for the games. I shall miss him very much. Thank you for sharing your brother with us.

Shelly,
you brought such joy to me for being your staff and friend. I will miss fishing together, talking about motorcycles and telling tall tales of how big our fish were.
I will keep you dear to my heart and never forget all the good times we shared. My heart is heavy but that is only because I am missing you. I know you wouldn't want us to be sad because now you can do all things you desire.
Ride high and fast,
Love always,
Thack
