Remembering Shelly Soltys

Donation protected
It is with great sadness and incredibly heavy hearts, that the world has lost one of the most beautiful souls we have all come to know and love, Shelly Soltys. 

Shelly was a mother to four beautiful children, (Angie, Jack, Chloe and Clara) who were her entire heart and soul. She was also a Grandma to her sweet baby girl, Luna.
She was diagnosed in 2012 with colorectal cancer. She fought so hard over many, many years, with SO much courage, and for as long as she possibly could, she fought her battles with a smile on her face, helping everyone she could along the way. Despite all the surgeries, the chemo therapy, the radiation treatments, she always wanted to make sure that the people around her were okay, no matter how she was feeling. She just had a warmth and magic to her that always made you feel loved and appreciated when you were with her. 

Her family is now left without the woman who has always been the center of their world. As anyone who has lost a loved one knows, on top of the emotional struggles that we face, there are also many financial burdens that at times will be completely overwhelming. I am creating this GoFundMe in hopes that all who knew and loved Shelly, will be able to come together and alleviate some of the financial strain that will come in the upcoming months for her family. I realize this is a financially difficult time for many. Even a $5 donation and a share to spread the word will be appreciated beyond words. I know that because of Covid, we are limited in the ways that we are able to help and support her family. Right now, assisting financially and easing the burden is the biggest way we can make an impact together.

I ask all of you who are reading this, in honor of Shelly, to do a random act of kindness for someone today. She left a trail of love and sparkles where ever she went, and we can continue to share that love, and allow her memory to live on through us all. 
Rest Easy Shelly, we love you so, so very much. You will be missed more than I can ever put into words. thank you for being such an amazing person, we are all better because we were lucky enough to love you.
