Memories, thanks and farewells from the people Shelley touched.
The world is a little quieter today.
Shelley's voice got me through the worst year of my life. I owe them more than I can say.
A life fully lived. Thank you, Shelley.
Rest well, Shelley. The work is done, and it was good.
Not many people can say they made millions of strangers feel less alone. Shelley could.
Shelley Fabares will be remembered long after the rest of us are forgotten. That's what greatness looks like.
I cried when I heard the news, and I'm not ashamed of it. Shelley was part of the soundtrack of my life.
Well put.
To the family: you shared Shelley with all of us for so long. Thank you. We're holding you in our thoughts.
I never met Shelley, but I feel like I grew up with them. Thank you for being part of my life.
Same here. Exactly this.
Put the record on tonight and sat in the dark. Still gives me chills.
I keep coming back to this page. It helps to know so many others feel the same.
I met Shelley once, very briefly, and they were kind to a nervous stranger. That's what I'll remember.
Yes. This.
Gone too soon, even at any age. There was so much more to come.
My dad introduced me to Shelley's work when I was a kid. We talked about it for hours. Today I'm thinking of both of them.
403 people are remembering Shelley here. Light a candle when words are hard. It stays here.
Be the first to give.
Thank you for sharing this.
