I spoke with Shellie this evening and her son has passed away. He was only 2. He was found in the pool.
She is one of our admins and best friends here at momdot, so our hearts are bleeding for her. I couldn’t barely speak talking to her. It knocks the wind out of you. I don’t know what you say when a child dies. A child of your friend. Like when its someone you don’t know, you are sad. When its someone you do know, it takes your breath away.
She will never be the same. I feel so helpless. Sick.
Shellie is a wonderful person. A WONDERFUL person. A wonderful mother. A perfect friend. Amazing.
There will never be enough tears. She JUST moved there. Just moved and just got her internet back. She has only been there weeks. Weeks.
Please pray for her peace till her husband gets there. He isn’t in town. Lee is on her way to drive over to sit with her. Ill pass any messages you want to send through Lee. I am so grateful to have such a large and caring network. We have a person in every port so to speak.
If you want to send a card, I am going to send out a box from our group on Monday. Get it to me asap and put her name on it too so I know not to open it.

If you want to donate money, you can contact me directly for her paypal address till we can set up a more formal fund for her. (Update: i am not going to be passing out her personal info until I can verify where funds are going)
Pray.

I’m devastated for Shellie and her family. Just like everyone else, I don’t have the words to express my sorrow. I’m sick over this. My thoughts and prayers are with her.
Sending many prayers and much love to Shellie. I am just in shock.
I wish I could find words that could even begin to explain the heartbreak and sadness you can feel for someone you don’t even know, but I can’t. I don’t know Shellie, but I have a 2 year old son and this shook me to my core. Shellie and all of her family are in our prayers.
It’s one of those things we will NEVER understand in this lifetime. Prayers for the entire family tonight.
I just heard this on twitter. I dont know shellie, or her son. As a mom I had to find out what happened. Im sick to my stomach, i am so very sorry. no words will make this easier, please just use them to wrap around you, knowing we are all here hugging, loving and praying for you.
As a mother who has laid a child to rest, I am truly sorry. It is true, she will never be the same. But with a strong & loving support system, willing to follow her lead, she can make it.
My thoughts and prayers are with Shellie and her family. My special needs son passed away in 2001 on my daughter’s birthday. Nothing can compare to the loss of a child. Shellie you will make it through with the support of your family and friends. Take one day at a time and when you make it through the day thank God for getting you through the day and then wake up and do it all over again. Although I don’t know you I know what you are going through and if you ever need someone to talk to…….
My heart goes out to Shellie and her family.

My heart is simply breaking for her. There are no words…..just a deep, deep ache. Saying prayers and sending so much love her way.
I just heard of this news as well. Its so heart breaking to hear a story like this. I can barely think of the right words to say. Thoughts & Prayers go out to her and her family.
As another mom who lost children in death, I know the pain Shellie is experiencing and will as time passes. I pray for Peace that surpasses from Our Lord…
I am so very sorry. My thoughts are with Shellie and her family.
I never know what to say, my heart hurts. Shellie, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I don’t know Shellie but my prayers are with her and her family during this awful time.
I spoke with Shellie earlier. She is just broken. I didn’t know what to say other than to ask what I could do. Her response was simply, “Go hug your kids.”
I’m so very sorry. I don’t know Shellie, but my heart breaks for her and her family and friends.
I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry to hear this. I hope God gives you the strenth to make it through this tragic time in your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as well as with your little one.

My heart is broken for her. I don’t know what to say or do or even how to be. Even as I fight for my own son’s future, her son’s future is in heaven. I can only hope she feels the prayers and some peace tonight.
