I can still remember our first time meeting in person.  Our favorite diner in Princeton.  I know we had tried to meet so many times but with being in active treatments and having surgeries our schedules never seemed to jive.  And then you became so quiet online I thought you were avoiding me.  But I am so blessed that we met online and in person many times to share our cancer miseries, triumphs, frustrations and at times anger.  Ohh and above all else LAUGHTER!!!  The conversations we had were sarcastic and cynical.  How much fun we had.  Walks at the Grounds for Sculpture- I’m glad I got you out of the house!!  Symposium in DC…. we were forever trying to crack the code to a cure.  You are one of, if not, THE smartest people I know.  Beautiful, compassionate, kind, and so sharp!!  I’ve already been missing you because of this f’in pandemic.  But I know you are there.  I don’t know what I will do without you.  I hope you come to me in my dreams!!!  I need you!!  I love you!!  Thank you for being there for me and thank you for being you!!  You are the most beautiful soul and so strong!!  💙💙💙 We are the 10%!!!  Cancer sucks!

Elements of Style by Shelley Pedersen and Suzanne M. Carter

Elements of Style by Shelley Pedersen and Suzanne M. Carter

# data[].attributes.body
Anyone who has taken advanced writing classes or legal research and writing in law school is probably familiar with the 0.3-inch-thick tome Elements of Style  . This weighty tome covers the principles of English writing in a concise style where you “make every word count.” Many a day in writing briefs, we thumbed through this book to get it just right. It always got us to the correct answer, except on one occasion. Without being crude and offensive to our audience’s sensibilities, please remind yourself of the character that Salvatore Bonpensiero played on “The Sopranos”. Only then will you understand the grammatical dilemma regarding pluralization we faced and how to best research the answer.

A large company was conducting an in-house investigation of complaints regarding inappropriate behaviors and sexual harassment among its employees. Outside counsel had been retained to investigate, report, and make recommendations.  A report was produced similar to that done in the Andrew Cuomo investigation but this report remains private. As you can imagine, the stories were quite salacious and graphic. The employees did not hold back in describing what was done (cartoons, photos, joke telling, etc.) and what was said. Think about some recent news stories and you will have the flavor of what was happening.

One late night (there are always late nights at Big Law Firm (Tyrant and Legree)) while finalizing the report Shelly asked for my input. I read it through and found it well written, detailed, and unbiased. However, one word jumped out at me. I pointed out to Shelley that the plural of it was “s” only. Shelley had written it as ending in “ies”.  Grammar rules state if the word ends in a consonant + y, change “y” to “i” and add “es” and if the word ends in a vowel + y, add “s” to the word.

In New York, however, grammar rules are somethings subject to borough rules. I’m from the Bronx and Shelly is from Brooklyn. New Yorkers know that this is like being from Venus and Mars. We’re in the same solar system but worlds apart. Or in this case, separated by a bridge.

As only a girl from the Bronx could do, I explained that the word ended in “s”, not “ies”. Shelley came back at me like only a girl from Brooklyn could do, “No, it’s “ies””. Like a jury, we were deadlocked.

Most of you are probably wondering we just didn’t Google it.  Remember we worked at Tyrant and Legree where every keystroke was assessed and data mined by Big Brother. Looking up this word would have summoned the Politically Correct police faster than the speed of light.

I’m not sure if we resorted to rock, paper, scissors (again subject to Bronx v. Brooklyn rules) to resolve the spelling. But it certainly made for a fun time (and a few billable minutes). To this day, we recognize that there are two plural forms. Which one you use is based on the borough of your birth. Finally, we did not go to our male friends because they can’t possibly know how to spell what they don’t have.

To my friend Shelley, I will miss you. Next time when you bring the orange juice, don’t forget the vodka!

PS. If any rules of grammar were violated, it was intentional.

Shelly, you are a beautiful lady both inside and out. My dear sister in law you are strong and determined, intelligent, caring and compassionate.

I remember when you first posted about your cancer. My husband was diagnosed same time but he passed in 2013. I am so glad you have been a survivor all this time. We had some fun in Bildersee. I remember smoking True cigarettes. Sending love and prayers.

Our paths have been so similar, I cannot help thinking of you as a kind of soul mate.  I am not far behind you on this life journey thing, having just been told by my Onc that I have no more chemo or surgical options.  When treatments fail us, the next step is looking ahead to plan the best exit we can.  Your grace about hospice care has given me hope of achieving a peaceful death.  So even now, your goodness extends out to others, to the whole universe, healing and inspiring. Go with God my dear cancer sister.  I will see you soon.
Feel my arms around you,
Robin McGee.

Hey Shel. I remember beginning this journey with you when you came to the front of the church for prayer. Most of the time you had to give me a biology lesson as you explained the various health issues. But you never failed to trust that the Lord had a greater purpose in all you have gone through.
Your faith, strength and desire to use the trial you were in to share JESUS with others is truly inspiring.
You will be missed, but we will be rejoicing with you as you enter into eternity with our Lord!
Love in Christ
Pastor PAUL and Clare

I remember looking across at you and thinking how you had the whole package. 16 years old, wildly gorgeous, incredibly smart, and so funny! The friend I would love to call mine was way out of my league. Some how we did become friends, and just in time to really have some fun. Some of my favorite high school memories, (I will not detail them here, but you know what I mean), were the shenanigans we got into together. We lost touch for many years and met back up several years ago. Nothing changed, same Shel. Only now you were a mother of 4, with multiple degrees and professions. We talked about the many challenges you endured, of course culminating in your current battle. You are and always have been a champion. You navigate life with strength and humor.  You are a forever friend, and though we don’t speak often, I pray.  Looks like my praying has helped because you have found out the how and why of your being. Going forward will be special for you because you are a unique and special person.

Shelley, We never had an opportunity to build great memories or spend time to just enjoy being in eachothers company but, we did have a few meaningful conversations over the years.
What could I want for you right now?  What we all desire from the people we know and love.  To know that we matter.
In the middle of a medical crisis a few years back I called you.  I asked if you wanted anything I could bring/give you.  Your anwer:
"I want one more day to wake up, be grateful, and ask God the opportunity to meet or see just one person I can share Jesus with."
DROP THE MICROPHONE MOMENT!  Most of us spend decades trying to figure out the purpose of our lives and you spoke it like it was the most natural thing in the world.   The impact that had on my life since is not measurable by earthly standards.  You Matter a great deal!  To Mitch, your daughters, family, friends, and people like me you have had such a profound effect on with your words.   I want to Thank You and know there is someone praying for you to have many, many more days.  Love, Irene

I only know you from working with you on your kitchen and having a few brief conversations.
In those few short conversations I realized that you are a super intelligent woman with a wonderful sense of humor.
You have faced the worst
and maintained your faith
with grace and humor.
Prayers for continued comfort.

This is so difficult for me as I knew you later in your life and have a different perspective than most of your "older" friends.  Difficult because in working with you, losing was never an option.  You would uncover whatever information we needed to give the educrats in the school system heartburn.  Ergo: Scut Lady.  My very affectionate nick name for you.  You worked tirelessly to win, armed with the facts and figures to make our case.
Not unlike how Admiral Kirk beat the Kobayashi Maru, the no-win scenario, as described in Star Trek II, The Wrath of Kahn.  You couldn't change the rules this time to cheat the disease:
https://www.startrek.com/videos/watch-star-trek-ii-the-wrath-of-khan-how-kirk-passed-the-kobayashi-marus-no-win-scenario
It pains me me to accept the idea that you will not beat this Kobayashi Maru.  We have all watched your incredible efforts for the past 6 years, rooting from our own hectic lives, but not doing anything as difficult as what you have endured.
I'm truly sorry that we lost touch since you moved out of town.  My fault but I'm glad to send along this note and just remember; I will see you there behind St. Peter when I get there and we can share some laughs as we remember all the fun times.
He prepared a place for you and it's going to be a big one that you deserve!
I love you Shelly and will miss you till then....

Dear Shel,

One word my friend describes you so perfectly: "overcomer". All for God's glory, you put it all out there. I pray that your faithfulness and strength that Jesus has given you serves as a heart-softening witness and testimony to all you know and love. What a blessing it will be to see "beauty from ashes". Our lives are for His purpose and when we understand that we have His peace...
"Well done good and faithful servant" will no doubt be music to your ears 😇 and you will be at the cool table and in charge of something amazing. 😄
You are always in my prayers Beauty 👑 and I value the time we spent together and look forward to more...
Everlasting love... my sister in Christ.
Sandra

This is how I will always remember you- vacuuming- NOT!  Anyway, I am so glad we met freshman year (that’s when the picture was taken) as suite mates, and happy that we reconnected more recently.

I will be thinking of you and hoping you are without pain and keep up the good humor, as much as possible.  I WILL always remember you laughing and wise-cracking!

Much love 💕 and chocolate,

 To one of the strongest I know!!! No matter what you were going through you never lost that humor and smile. Even the last time I cut your hair you had me laughing..not to short, make sure I have my bangs  I don't want to look like a boy 😂  You were not only one of my favorite clients but someone I grew to love. You will always be an inspiration to me. You fought this battle and fought it like the warrior you are! I will be sure to check in on Mitch and of course not make his eyebrows to dark 🤣 and his hair looking good. God has a plan for all of us and I know whenever the time comes you will be welcomed with open arms and have a seat right next to the Big Guy ! I am keeping you in my prayers and close   to my heart!!! Joelle

Shelley,

I remember the first thing you said to me when you walked into our dorm room freshman year…. ‘Well, I guess we won’t be sharing clothes and shoes anytime soon!’

Our experience as roommates and then as suite mates had some ups and downs (‘ya think?), but it was a great introduction to life (and adulthood), right?  What a group we were!  You, me, Jill, Pam, Lee Anne and Faith (and our extended friends and family).  Always getting in some kind of trouble….

I went digging through my photos and found one that includes most of us that will make you smile and bring back memories.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 47 years since we first met.  I’m so glad that I was able to reconnect with you in recent years and appreciate having had Facebook as a way to get a glimpse into each other’s families and lives.

As a fellow cancer patient, I loved your kick-🤬, no nonsense way to find the humor in all of this and am confident that using your “voice” to share your experience helped many others along the way.

My only words of advice:  Be selfish as you transition.  Grab every ounce of joy and love that your family has to share and eat the 🤬 chocolate!

Till we meet again….

Andrea

Please know my prayers, and well wishes for you will continue.

1 But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
3 For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
4 Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
peoples in exchange for your life.
5 Fear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you.
6 I will say to the north, Give up,
and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the end of the earth,
7 everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”

8 Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes,
who are deaf, yet have ears!
9 All the nations gather together,
and the peoples assemble.
Who among them can declare this,
and show us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right,
and let them hear and say, It is true.
10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor shall there be any after me.
11 I, I am the Lord,
and besides me there is no savior.
12 I declared and saved and proclaimed,
when there was no strange god among you;
and you are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and I am God.
13 Also henceforth I am he;
there is none who can deliver from my hand;
I work, and who can turn it back?”

14 Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“For your sake I send to Babylon
and bring them all down as fugitives,
even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,
the Creator of Israel, your King.”

16 Thus says the Lord,
who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,
17 who brings forth chariot and horse,
army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
18 “Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
20 The wild beasts will honor me,
the jackals and the ostriches,
for I give water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
21     the people whom I formed for myself
that they might declare my praise.

22 “Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;
but you have been weary of me, O Israel!
23 You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings,
or honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings,
or wearied you with frankincense.
24 You have not bought me sweet cane with money,
or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins;
you have wearied me with your iniquities.

25 “I, I am he
who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,
and I will not remember your sins.
26 Put me in remembrance; let us argue together;
set forth your case, that you may be proved right.
27 Your first father sinned,
and your mediators transgressed against me.
28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary,
and deliver Jacob to utter destruction
and Israel to reviling.

Almost 40 Years of Friendship and Laughs

# data[].attributes.body
For almost 40 years I have had the privilege and honor of calling you my friend. Ours is a friendship that began during the crazy days of Cappelli, Carter, and AT&T Consumer Products and even though our careers and lives eventually went in different directions, I never felt the passage of time or the increased physical distance between us ever dampened or dimmed our friendship. I am sitting here laughing as I am pretty sure our catch up phone calls never went less than two hours since you were never bashful or short of things to talk about! But those two hours were always a highlight of my life as your news, outlook, stories, and opinions never failed to entertain me, inform me, or crack me up! Over these recent years, your bravery and doggedness have overwhelmed me, your courage in the face of your health challenges has been remarkable. The word that constantly comes to mind is “warrior,” you have fought back every challenge, every threat with unmatched courage, grit, and humor. You have constantly been one of my most cherished relationships, thank you for the laughs and positivity you always brought into my life.

Shelly I know you always and I had a special relationship. For all the silly things we did on the school board I know you and I worked hard. We all played a role and you and I liked getting things done. We agreed we disagreed but we never got mad. I enjoyed every minute of meetings, after meetings and all the fun we had. It was actually funny when I realized I coached one of your kids. Never even knew it but always had fun. I’m sure we’ll meet up again and start the same conversations over and over. Love Jeff

You have been such an inspiration  to me and hundreds of others.
You & I have been “real” about this alien…& we both knew that one day it would probably bring an army, but, you continued on… living , helping others, researching & showing the aliens just how resilient you are. Your knowledge & eagerness to share , teach, guide so many is just one of your gifts. Your humor and quick wit just add to the package😊 .
I know you are going to a “better” place & will have everlasting life , oh & food 🥘 anything you want 💞.
Your knowledge and eagerness to help others by educating yourself and then passing things along is one of your many wonderful gifts.
May the next few months be full of great memories with your family. Pain free, & an abundance of love.
Love ya

Dear Shelley,
While we never met in person, you walked beside me during my journey with cancer. You gave me strength to carry on when I felt like giving up. You made me laugh when all I wanted to do was cry. You showed me that life was worth living and sometimes I needed to just get mad at cancer and refuse to give in. When I think of you it will always be with appreciation of your knowledge, your humor, and most of all the love you showed us all during some of the hardest times you had to endure. I will continue praying for you and am forever blessed to have our paths cross. Thank you for sharing your strength when I had none.

Dear Shel,

We never met in person, only over Facebook!    I moved from Alabama to NJ in Feb 2016 because my mother had a stroke, and I took care of her for 4 years.   Hence, when I got to NJ, I went to Calvary Chapel Crossfields and “met” you on the Facebook page.

My husband, John, and I met your husband (Rich to us) because most of our belongings were stored at  Life Storage….so, between Facebook and Life Storage a connection was formed.

Shel, through the years you have provided humor in the midst of trials, courage where times were difficult, education about what you were going through, lots and lots of TMIs and stories that exemplified your humor, wit, intelligence, tenacity, Love for your family and others and most of all…your Love for the Lord!

Thank you for the privilege to pray for you and your family and I will continue to pray the Lord take away all pain and bring you sweetly home.   Soon and very soon, you will have a brand new body, no more pain, and all the food you want to eat!

Love You Shel!

I have never got the privilege to meet you but I thank you for your dedication and creating this group.  When I was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer I was lost and did not know where to turn.  I stumbled upon this group and was able to find more encouragement and reassurance.  Although we never met you have made a difference in my life and the lives of so many.  Take your rest in the Lord.

It was my honor to create our cover page photo, and I am honored to serve as an Admin for the group. I'll try my best to carry on the mission statement. You surely set a high bar, always willing to help educate and minister to those suffering from scanxiety. I will never forget you.

Hi Shelly,
This is Todd Cushner, you may not remember me , but I remember you !  We went to public school together in Brooklyn.  You were spunky and bright and sweet with a sly knowing smile.  I have been watching your journey over the years and always felt horrible during rough times for you , praying that you would kick the ass of the aliens !!!   But the world is a crazy place and you have accomplished so much , attorney , mom, wife and friend to so many nice people !!!  I’m sad that this journey has landed you in this place but happy that you have done so much in life and enjoyed all of it ,   The good the bad and th ugly!!  If I can promise you one thing it’s that you have been a light and inspiration to all of us in so many ways!   I truly admire your strength , wisdom and most of all your humor in the thick of things !  You have a beautiful family and and I wish you and them everlasting peace and comfort in  The knowledge that gods plan can at times be strange but ultimately may he embrace you with open loving arms.  I for one will always think of you like a brilliant light !

With much love and praise
Todd
