The minute we are born, we are destined to die. So life is never about the Start and the End rather always about the in between: “The Dash”.

The Dash poem by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. 
He referred to the dates on the tombstone
from the beginning…to the end.

He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke of the
following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time that they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own, the cars…the house…the cash. 
What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.

So, think about this long and hard. Are there things 
you’d like to change? For you never know how much
time is left that can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s
true and real and always try to understand 
the way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives like 
we’ve never loved before. 

If we treat each other with respect and  more often
wear a smile, remembering that this special 
dash might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy is being read, with your life’s
actions to rehash…would you be proud of the things 
they say about how you spent YOUR dash?


As we all know Shelley LIVED HER DASH!!
She was true to her beliefs, surrounded herself with family and friends that brought her joy and comfort.
How lucky are we to have had Shelley in our lives that makes saying goodbye now so hard. Someone so special can never be forgotten and we will pull from Shelley’s strength to go on as she would want us to.
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Thank you Shelley !!

Condolence: From the first day I met Shelley, I knew she'd be my friend. She always had the time to listen and the time to give and share. By all her words and actions, she showed how much she cared. She was so very special, it showed in all she did. I had found a special friendship and I had gained a sister too. As a sister in law she was great, as a friend she was the best. To have had her in our family, made us all so truly blessed.

Shelley I will miss you always.
My heartfelt condolences to Mike, Allison and Sherry
