Tom, Lisa and family, and Michael,
My sincere sympathy goes out to you for the passing of Sheli. She became my very good friend when we worked together at Kohl's for all those years! We always celebrated our birthdays together with a margarita, usually at Applebee's. I have grown pansies every spring since she introduced them to me and will continue to do that in her memory. I am so sorry for your loss. LaVerne Schleichert

I was stocked to see Sheli's notice of her passing. I always liked her and her fun personality when we were all growing up together.
Sympathy to Sheli's family and especially Barb, my life long friend.
