MEMORIAL

Ehlers ordained as a teaching elder

Dear Aunt Shelly, This is your story through my eyes.

Something happened last night. I don’t know why.

But it’s hurting me. My aunt you see died last night. She may not be my real aunt, my own blood, but I loved her.

She flies in helicopters, for the hospital. Helps people who are hurt. She picks them up in the helicopter and rushes them to the needed hospital. Well last night while she was working, she got called in. Someone needed help.

The hero that she is climbed in to go save them. After all that is her job. To be a hero. But her and two others were on the plane that night. The night I will never forget. January 2nd, on a Wednesday. I will fear this day for years and beyond.

This was the night of her death.

While she was on the helicopter, it crashed. Killing her and the two other people aboard. Nobody knows what made the plane crash. I just hope that one of these days I will be able to know the truth. What really happened on this terrible night.

Here is a part of the story I haven’t discussed yet. Her family. She has two daughters, Liberty and McKenna. A lovely husband Jay. As well as two stepsons, Jacob and Nick.

My Uncle Jay is the sheriff, so he got the news of the plane crash first. While he heard this his daughters stayed with a trusted neighbor.

This is what happened on January 2nd. Even though Aunt Shelly is no longer with us her story still continues. Not only in our hearts and the others who have been blessed to hear her story and to know the joy she spread across tons of faces. It also continues in heaven, where she is standing by God. She is watching over us. And will always be our hero.

Our forever angel!

I love you Aunt Shelly, see you in heaven, Love, Rylee
