“Grief is the price you pay for love.” MommaShea as we all know her, is so loved, and so this grief we all feel, was earned, and is an indicator and a testament to how she touched so many lives. For that we are forever grateful.
A Celebration of Life is to come, per her request, where we can all gather with joy and laughter; to share stories and memories of our time with her over the years.
