Shelli, your strength inspired many. I am saddened at your passing. God has truly gained an Angel. Peace.
I love you to the moon & back, Momma. I know that you live on inside of me. ~Twirly
I met Shelli in elementary school and just adored and loved everything about her. She was so beautiful inside and out and always lit up a room or party – literally! She will be missed and never forgotten. The heavens are roaring with laughter!
Shelli,
You touched so many lives throughout your time here on earth. One of those being my mother’s – you were always there for her and I can’t thank you enough for that. I will never forget the many memories growing up next door and listening in on your wine nights with mom. Your presence filled the room everywhere you went. You will be missed dearly, but I know you’re already living it up with a nice glass of wine up there! Love, Jenny
My thoughts and prayer are with you and your family during this time. When I read the story about your mom, I think of what a wonderful job she did of raising you and your brother.
Thinking of your family and friends that you consider family during this difficult time. Sending love to all.
Shelli Ann Wheeler- the life of the party and an absolute ray of sunshine. I know you’re up there making others laugh, with a full glass of wine! You will be missed very much by us down here. Rest in peace <3
Thank you for everything you taught us, Shelli. We owe you so much. We’ll never forget you.
I am so sorry for the passing of this gem of a lady! She was a liver of life, and she added a sparkle to whatever she did and wherever she went. She handled her illness with grace and embraced her time with people, and made each moment special. She will be missed, but thought of often and with fondness and love. always!
A Hardy goodbye Shelli. ;(
So sorry to hear. Shelli made a difference in so many lives and always brought joy to those around her. Prayers go out to the family she was so proud of you all.
I am beyond saddened to hear about Shelli’s passing. I’ve only known her for a year and yet she left her handprint on my heart. I’ll cherish the memories we made on a cruise and here in my home in Miami. My sincere condolences to Brian and her precious children who she adored ❤️
Shelli you will be missed beyond words. “How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

I saw Shelli professionally for many years. At first she helped me through difficult times with my son, but more recently she just helped me bounce everyday issues off her. She knew me better than anyone and she understood the relationship with my husband and my children.
We also mutually loved cruising. The last time I saw Shelli in person we were both heading out on cruises the next week. She texted me a picture of a drink she was having soon after she boarded her cruise. I have lost a great therapist but also a good friend. Fly high Shelli.
Shelli was my counselor for a very short time but I knew right away that she was going to be someone I could talk to. Shelli, you were compassionate, understanding and easy to talk to. Your passing left me devastated and heart broken. I’ll always remember you and all that you helped me with. I’ll miss you terribly. Always in my heart.
Shelli, your strength, courage & laughter inspired so many people. I am saddened at your passing. God has truly gained an Angel. Be at peace ??❤️.
I knew Shelli professionally for a few years, I think of her and her wisdom daily. she guided and inspired me through difficult times. Shelli helped me see and be my very best self.. Shelli was comfortable, kind, compassionate and caring. We have lost a true gem. Heaven has gained a great angel.
I’m so sorry to have learned of this news just now and this could
Missed visitation. I’m deeply saddened by this news, by the loss of someone so full of life and joy. I was a client for 5 years and though we weren’t friends it felt as if we were because that’s just how she made you feel. I will miss her smile. I’ll miss Charlotte sitting in my lap during our sessions. I’d texted her a few times recently to see how she was and was worried at the lack of reply. My thoughts are with her family whom she loved so much. We truly have lost a beautiful soul. I’ll miss you Shelli! I’ll think of you in rainbows.
