I didn't know most of you; I've probably never even talked to you before. However, I'd heard of many of you from Michelle, back in the day.

My name is Marsha Maillie, I'm Shelly's littlest sister. Some of you may remember me from the Lasermine days; after that I started playing Starcraft instead.

As you can imagine, I've been too depressed to even think about Michelle for a while.
Now enough time has passed to where the pain has dulled and I only think of our happiest moments together.

I want to make a personal memorial for her on my computer, just to keep a small part of her close to me.

Please, if any of you still have pictures, chat logs, even screenshots, whatever, send them to me.
My e-mail is girlwithgunz@hotmail.com.

Those of you who were closest to her, please message me if you want to so we can talk and reminisce. She was such a big part of my life, and now I feel like I have little-to-nothing to remember her by.

Hey Marsha, I think I have some old MSN Messenger/IRC logs of Shelly and I chatting. The problem is they're on my old computer that doesn't work. But as soon as I fix the computer I'll send you the logs and whatever other items I have.

I do remember you GWG, but I never knew you were Shelly's sister.  I don't know much about your sister, other than the 7 years of playing Quake 2 together.  She was very talented and a hoot to speak with.  Close your eyes, and look back at yourself when you were younger.  Smell, feel, and touch the images inside your head.  Play a song, find a picture, or go to a place that your sister liked and relive the moments of when it took place.  Most of all, live well.  Your sister would have wanted that for you.

Hey, Shelly's sister! Glad to see you post.

I know I've got some fond memories of Shelly and it's safe to say that everyone that knew her misses her still. Many a time I would see a message from her with some off-the-wall remark that make me laugh.

The on-screen message when you join the pub, "In Remembrance of Shelly and Lefty", will always be there......they are a part of all of us.

Marsha - Shelly was the person you always wanted on your team but when she wasn't, you could count on her to be talented & unpredictable in her play style.
 She handled all us male buffoons with grace and style. We do still miss her.
 Read back through this thread if you have not already and visit again as you can.

Didn't know Shelley was with GWG. The only members I remember were Millenia and Tiffy.

I really miss Shelly as well...  I knew her from when she was in GWG back in the lasermine days, and was in several clans with her early on in quake2's life.  You could always count on her for a good laugh, that's for sure.  She would always be willing to talk to you if you needed someone to talk to.

A great person, a great girl, and I'm sure a great sister.

I'll send you what I have when I get a chance.. i have some stuff from her on my computer(s).  I'm pretty sure at the very least there are some q2 demos from when we use to be in the same clans.

sigh.. every time I see a picture of her, there's such a flood of sickly intoxicating emotions that occur.. sometimes I wonder why I decided to care so much about someone so destined for a dead future.. or maybe she chose me to let me see how good my life really is.. or maybe she was too screwed up all the time to really know what she was doing with anyone.. and why she couldn't really make anything happen..

I'm so glad it's all over.. the scary thing would be if she was still alive right now.. how much more screwed up would she be?  and how much more screwed up would I be from being in continual contact with her?  as sad as it is.. and I miss her near every day still.. she died to teach me a lesson.. and as her cryptic "you'll pay" message was on my phone just a couple hours before she passed over 2 1/2 yrs ago.. she meant that I'll pay no matter what I tried to do concerning her, that you can only save yourself and people who want to be helped, that I would pay for knowing her til her end and taking her spirit inside myself.. the scariest love-hate-love trance I'd ever experienced.. but taught me the most.

I thank her for everything she showed me.  It let me know about myself.  I just wish she wouldn't have done so many drugs.. the ones that suffer the most are the ones that live.. she took the easier route out.. for that I wish she hadn't.. I wish she would've stuck it out and laid off the drugs at least some.. then again, I could never understand what she went thru, her and her family and friends and people she had to deal with constantly..

All I know is I miss her.. and thank her.. no one else could've shown me what she did.. I thank her for everything.

Hmm, well, I know this is an old thread but...

I was Shelly's friend back in high school. Just the other day, I wondered what she was up to and I came across this thread.

We did have a falling out, but I never had a hatred for her. To be honest, I always kind of felt like she would die at a young age, but I did not imagine this young. She was manic depressive and was into the drugs. I felt sorry for her. I know her home life wasn't the greatest, but I hated to see her choose the lifestyle that she chose. She definitely had some issues and that caused her some ill feelings with several people, but we all have issues and I am saddened that I was right about her not living very long. I was really hoping that someday she would straighten up, or that the drugs were just an "experimental" stage.

She is no longer in anymore pain so, I guess she finally got her release that she was looking for. It is just sad all around that such a young person had to succumb to drugs and depression.

Many of us, certainly me included, went through some times we were very lucky to survive. My personal nod goes to my Guardian Angel which has looked over my dumb ass moves all my life.
I should be dead 10 times over but made it through to the other side to be here today.
  Shelly was not so lucky. I hope she is at peace.
