She shaped my messy financial life so I was able to retire 10 yrs ago and move to Texas. I was talking with her a few days ago about increasing an investment after the holidays. Said she would get back to me with some ideas. What a shock, this hurts, I admired her for who she was, all she has done and a friend. I enjoyed our phone conversations cause they weren’t all business. I enjoyed discussing with her about her dysfunctional family. Travel photos were a plus. I appreciated her concern for my wife. I’ll will miss her.

If someone could post an address for me to send a Mass card, it would be appreciated or email it.

Shay was so special that I made sure to never lose touch with her after college. And even though I never met you or Aidan, there was no doubt how much she loved and treasured you both.

I remember my first spring break, she brought me home to meet her mom, dad and brother because I had no where else to go. Pretty special for a 19 year old to think to open her family to someone she only knew for a few months. We drove to New Orleans from Mobile where Trent was living at the time to see the post Mardi Gras mess. She introduced me to so much.

She didn’t lose. She fought so that lives of others will be better. I am blasting her blog to others so that she will always live through us.

Yes. Fuck cancer. I’m about to train in order to run it off the planet.

Cheers to Shay. And thank you for being part of her life.

<3 Danielle

I’m sitting here bawling over the fact that I will not have the opportunity to meet Shay face to face here on Earth. I’m being selfish, I know. I am so very grateful for what I was able to share with her she was my hero in my darkest days and will continue to to be for ever more. My deepest sympathies to you and Aidan and to all her friends and family. It is a great loss, but the world IS a better place for having her, even if it was only for a little while.

Peace,
Tammy

PS. FUCK CANCER!!

And I never begrudged her for any of it. As I look back over the years, I wish I had lived as adventuresome as Shay. When I first met her at a Mexican joint in Livonia, I detected the limp and inquired. You then mentioned a possible earlier sports (track) injury, which of course turned out to be false. I’m grateful for having her as my daughter-in-law and for giving you and Aidan such joy. The memories shall live forever.
