RIP, Shay. This is the message from her niece on FB. -- (edited)

Posted by spamlet Jan 9 '24, 13:23

It's been a week since I've learned you passed.
Since then I have collected all the postcards you sent my son and I. You were so excited to have someone to send postcards to again, when he went through his collection phase. They're all signed "Love, Aunt Sharon". I'm thinking of getting that tattooed in your handwriting, even though I know you'd tease me mercilessly for it.
Since then I've eaten my weight in fries and chocolate. The stress and grief has prevented me from gaining any weight though, so I guess that's something. I can hear you tell me "When I was your age, we'd never eat like that for fear of acne." And then I can hear the debate we'd have as I explain the science around acne and that greasy food and sweets aren't always a factor, and FURTHERMORE, these are air fried, thank you!
I've spent a lot of time covered in cats. I guess they just know.
I've spent a lot of time getting mad at the fact that the world should be grieving your loss. I went to the trampoline park with the kids like usual and it felt like I was trapped in a tomb of happiness. It should be raining and everyone should be upset.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about the coulda, shoulda, woulda's, but the fact of the matter is, you made the choices you did for a reason and I need to figure out how to respect that.
I wish you knew how much your coworkers loved you. I wish you knew that your loved ones would have taken care of you if you just said. I wish you knew a lot of things.
I wish you knew how much I miss you.
