"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
These words undoubtedly resonated deep within Shelly's heart, and they reflect her unwavering faith that guided her steps through life's joys and sorrows. As we celebrate her life, let us hold on to the valuable lessons she taught us – to remain steadfast in our faith, to embrace each day with gratitude, and to find solace even in the midst of dark times.
Shelly lived her life with grace and kindness, illuminating the lives of those fortunate enough to cross her path. We remember her humility, always putting others before herself and never seeking recognition. She had a rare ability to inspire and uplift, even when facing personal struggles, reminding us all that strength resides in compassion and selflessness.
As we say our goodbyes today, let us carry forward the legacy Shelly has left behind. Let her spirit inspire us to extend a helping hand to those in need, to approach every adversity with unwavering resilience, and to cultivate a heart of humility and love. May we remember her as the embodiment of kindness and wisdom, as a cherished friend, and as a guiding light whose legacy will forever shine through our lives.
In conclusion, let us reflect upon the words of Psalms 23, finding solace in its promises. Though we may face uncertainty and experience loss, may these words remind us that no matter the darkness we traverse, we are never alone. Shelly, your spirit will remain eternally within our hearts, guiding us through the valleys of life with strength, grace, and humility.
Rest in peace, dear friend, knowing that your light will continue to shine through each of us.
