RIP Shelley.
From her April article:
“COVID scares me, but more and more, I am hearing people say that enough is enough, we’ll wear a mask and get vaccinated and wash our hands and be careful for as long as necessary, but we need to get on with our lives.”
Does anyone know if she received 1 or 2 vaccines?
RE: FAKE NEWS
How about you show some respect for once?? Someone lost their life and a family lost a loved one! You need help!
What an awesome and inspiring journalist and columnist. A huge loss of greatness. Condolences from the bottom of my heart. That raw journalist’s courage that showed in her article Sending out an SOS among everything else she did is truly spirit lifting.
