I was heartbroken to learn of Shelly's passing only recently. I was a friend, roommate and guinea pig for her hair creations in the mid-80s. I am so very, very sad.

To the Burnham family my deepest condolences. I spent alot of time at your home in my childhood and have very vivid and fond memories of that time. Shelly was a good friend to me.

Dear Burnham Family, Shelley was a dear friend to me during our childhood years in Paw Paw. We had lost touch as adults, but that did not diminish the fond memories I have of her or you. I am very sorry to her of her passing. You are all in my prayers. Donna
