Brian... About his life with Shelley

In addition to my faith, Shelley was the best thing that ever happened to me. I met Shelley during her nurses training at the Calgary General Hospital. When we met, Shelley had Long Blonde hair down to waste and the softest hands. I had a lot of competition for her love but thankfully, I won out. Shelley gave me unconditional love support and encouragement throughout our marriage which never wavered. She was always challenging me about my faith and family. Shelley was very adventuresome we started out life together by going to Expo 67 in Montreal then backpacking in Europe for 2 months. We came home from our honeymoon we had $2.50 and started out by house sitting in an area close to Foothills Alliance Church, which we still attend. Having a home church was very important to Shelly. God blessed us with three children Michelle, Chantelle and Chad and spouses Jason, Torie, Evie plus 9 Grand kids. We had great fun sitting around as family at the table bantering and challenging one another. We got to see some of the world It was always Shelley’s dream to go on a cruise with the whole family that happened. We visited the Holy land and last winter we spent 5 weeks in Hawaii. She loved that because she did not appreciate the cold plus we had the pleasure of visiting many other world destinations over the years. So all in all it was very rewarding journey with Shelley. Shelley had overcome her challenge with liver sickness many times but this time it was not to be. The last week with her was an experience I will never forget seeing her weaken every day and conversations we had. She passed away peacefully in her sleep. I will miss her she was my great lover, friend, mother, grandmother,sister and a great example of a Godly woman I can still see her praying and reading her bible in her bedroom beside the window. What a lady
