Shelly is missed by many. She took it upon herself to establish communication with people from Murewa and it was my pleasure to chat with her about our early days in primary school, our relatives and mutual friends. The best part was to share The Gospel - the good news - with her. May her soul rest in peace.

We have lost a favorite Aunt, confidante, friend, mother... But the pain of her absence is filled with joyous images of her singing, laughing, jumping & playing her tambourine in heaven!! We miss you Aunty, but smile at how happy you must be singing with the King of Kings.
Although we were unable to be there in person, our prayers for you Uncle Max, Solomon & Simba continue. May God's peace and comfort cover you.

My deepest sympathy to Shelly's family and friends. Although I did not know her well, she was a true friend to my sister(Liona). The few times I did meet Shelly, moving things around "The Market" for her, she was such a pleasant, vibrant and happy person. Shelly will be missed by many, both family and friends, market goers and venders. She touched alot of people.

Dear Maxwell,
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your beautiful wife Shelly. It seems that it was only yesterday that you were all living on Barrington Street and Solomon was only a baby. I had a chance to look at the pictures and Shelly is always smiling just like I remember her, she was such a positive person. I am praying that all the good memories that you hold of her will comfort you and that the difficult days ahead will be made easier as you lean on Jesus. Once again my condolences to both you and Solomon. Love and Prayers, Darlene Paris, Harbour City Homes
