    To Shella’s family, I can’t tell you how much his death still haunts me to this day. My heart still goes out to you all, such a shame for a man so young & full of promise to be cut down in his prime.

    I say to his family, embrace all the good times & things that you did together, for death can never take that from you.

    I find it so hard to believe that he is really gone.

    Shella, you are always in my thoughts, your friend.

    I will miss you Shella. I know I could always count on you for a few laughs and your help. I still can not believe you are gone. You will always be remembered. We had such good times working together and you were always such a nice and generous person with such a big heart.

    My sincere condolences to Alba, Sasha, and Kaz.

    May your soul rest in peace. My condolences go out to this beautiful family and especially his wife Alba who will miss him so much. Take comfort in the Lord who is the only source to sustain you in such a time. In Psalms 121:1 says, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hill, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord the maker of Heaven and Earth".

    We love you Alba and family and we’ll be praying for you.
