Firstly I would like to apologize for the original journal I wrote.  It was rash.  But I'm sure that everyone can understand the cold upsetting feeling you get in the middle of the night when you find out one of the closest people to you has passed away.  So to be formal...

To Flutterby727's watchers...

I regret to say that Samantha Michelle Nance, mostly known by close friends as "Shelley" passed away yesturday. [link]

I wish not to get into graphic detail about what I do know....but I will share that she was found murdered in her apartment.  I would also like to say that in light of this horrible situation I wish that you would all do your best to keep her in your hearts forever and to make her dream come true of becomming an artist with a well known name.  Not because of her sudden and early death...

But because of her beautiful personality, optimistic attitide, and the fact that she was an artist that never gave up.  Even when she felt that she couldn't make it, she never gave up.  I know that Shelley loves you all and highly appreciates the love she got while she was alive.

I will also like to state that I will no longer be leaving messages in this account, this will be the last journal I write here.  _{Shelley never did like me messing around on her page anyway}

Hello, this is !cosmikfairy.

This will be the only time I ever log onto Shelley’s account because, like Raila said, she doesn’t like it when we mess with her stuff (though, I’m sure she’ll forgive me this one time).

Shelley was my best friend in high school. I would go over to her house every day after school, and we would play video games, draw, and get on dA. We were practically attached by the hip. Every time I go by her old house, I want to see her jumping on her trampoline twirling her baton. Enough about that, though…
This is my final letter to the best friend I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.

You were always there for me and forgave me even when I didn’t deserve it. You showed me what life could be like if you just laughed your way through it and never gave up your dreams. And even though I still cry when I talk about it, I still smile when I think back on all the great memories we have together. You have shown me how to be a better person, and I will try my hardest to do so. Like you told me so long ago, I will never stop being myself.

I love you, Shelley.
<3 ~Grady

It's sad I have to take back my words so fast.  But I would appreciate it if you did NOT leave negative comments here.  I don't really care what you think about this situation but for what it's worth Shelley's friends and family are comming to this page to read positive things...to see how she was loved from people....I have personally spoken with her family on the phone and they are very heartbroken about it as anyone would be that knew her.  The last thing anyone, myself included, wants right now is to hear negativity on this.  Please keep any bad comments to yourself.  While this situation may not be important to some, it is VERY real for us who are involved.  I thank you ahead of time for respecting this.

They made an arrest today. Her boyfriend's room mate. That is about all I know. The articles are a mess, but at least you can find more information.
