July 22, 2025Dearest Shelley,
How I will miss chatting to you every morning, putting you to bed and “tucking you in” as you used to say. You became my daily dose of mostly pointless chatter, but we had a lot of laughter along the way and the days will be longer and quieter without you.
I will remember you with much love and happiness
All my love darling and sleep well
June xxxx
July 22, 2025Oh Shelly, we are going to miss you terribly.

Who will wash Mal’s Sox?
Who will Greg tell his jokes to?
Who will make Mel laugh?
Taken unfairly and far too soon.
Rest in peace mate
Much love from Sweet Lips, Meadow and the lovely Mr Frost

So many laughs, sleepovers , abba and Leif Garrett singalongs and fun around the blocks and big township of Cardross .

Kathy xFarewell Shellbelle, my beautiful baby girl.
You were the love of my life, my light in the darkness, my sunshine in the rain, my hope and comfort in times of sorrow. Right now I am completely lost and broken but I feel the love and laughter you shared shining through all the lives you touched.
I told you once that I love you more today than I did yesterday but not as much as I will tomorrow. Not an original quote but it was true then, now and always will be.I love and miss you so much
Nigh nigh and sleep well baby girl

I’ll see you in my dreams
Ian
XXXI am in complete shock. Childhood friend and then we met up again working alongside me at Vision Australia. You got my filing sorted and gave me so much joy and laughter. Our drives from Cardross to work became a hysterical mess that I will never forget. We lost contact over the last few years but I will remember you fondly with a great deal of love. Neenie
July 23, 2025Still cant believe this is true.
You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can’t forget,
I remember the first time we met, back in our primary school days. the laughter and fun time through high school, You always had a story to tell, your version not always the one others remembers but always entertaining.
Times and people change but our memories will remain forever.Birds of passage, you and me
We fly instinctively
When the summer’s over
And the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor I’m to blame
When all is said and doneDeepest sympathy to Ian
July 23, 2025Hey Toots

I couldn’t ask for a better friend, you always spoke the truth even when the reality of it hit hard, you always had my back , we met studying at Madec many years ago where you shared my great love for animals which bought us together and lead to you adopting a very mischievous Goat known as Gordon.(sorry Ian).
I will miss the laughs, how we could just talk for hours, our trips to the pool, the time we spent just sitting in the paddock combing Thors goatee!
I will never forget these times
Love forever

Life is a fragile gift and together we shared that gift.
Together since childhood we shared a friendship that only you and I could truly understand … Never was this to change …. So much could be written in light of our friendship but the words could never capture the love laughter fun antics and tears shared.
I was so honoured and privileged to be and continue to be your voice when you needed it the most …. This privileged role I will always hold so dear within my heart.
I end with I will catch you later
Tell
P.S. Will look after the Pom for you.My dear cousin Shelly,
It greatly saddens me that you are gone. I have nothing but found memories of us growing up together = the laughter and the special bond we shared, l will cherish those moments for the rest of my life.
Though you’re no longer with us in person, your spirit and the love you gave so free will always remain in my heart.
Rest peacefully, Shelly. You will be deeply missed and forever lovedDarren
July 28, 2025Shelley we were so sad to hear of your passing. We have so many fond memories of coming up to cardross and visiting you! Every time we talk about going to Mildura you were always the top of the list to visit. Thank you for passing on your Simpson family history to me, I will forever be thankful for those countless hours sitting there listening to your stories and going through photos! To my boys you will always be known as that lady with signs in her backyard, and the reason we have a Simpson’s street sign proudly on display today! (She was so proud when we showed her what we got!)

Whenever we would get a ‘groovy gravy baby’ message on messenger from you it always made us smile!
May you rest in peace and fly high Shelley!
Much love to your friends and Ian who we know you absolutely loved dearly.
All our love Paul, Hayley, jaidyn and Lachlan SimpsonShelley, Cheeky Chops. My best friend for 31 years — and the one who makes me laugh like no one else can.
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, but I don’t think our bond has ever needed help. It’s built on decades of stories, ridiculous jokes, and the kind of laughter that leaves our sides hurting.
Even with massive distances between us, you’ve never stopped being my person. Whether we’re sending each other messages, memes, reels at weird hours or randomly reminiscing about something ridiculous from years ago, talking on the blower for hours on end, voice notes and talky talky videos, you always know how to make me laugh. We’ve never let a little thing like distance get in the way of our friendship.
Thank you for 31 years of love, and pure belly laughs.
Thank you for being my person.
No matter the distance — always my best friend. Always my Cheeky Chops.
I love you, I miss you
