Mr. Jack Kelly - very nicely said. For those who would much rather judge and condemn Shelley for the difficult choice she made, why dont you do a little research on Bipolar Disorder? I work in a library, where being curious comes in handy sometimes. Books on Bipolar Disorder can be found in the nonfiction area, around the 618’s. If you don’t have time to look around, try Wikipedia, you could learn quite a bit.

Hey Lgald,
Jesus died and suffered for ALL of our sin, past and in the future. I knew Shelley. I used to work out with her at the Tigard, Oregon Health Habit back in the day. And Yes the Lord did forgive Shelley and can even forgive your thoughtless, rude, ignorance as well. Just get to know him. Read the gospel and get to know Him for yourself and you will come to the reason He allowed Himself to be crucified, which is Love! Love your enemy’s, truly and you shall find the passion of Heaven!

It’s sad to hear of such a loss. I can’t imagine how her life had been living with that disease, and so young. That is something I have not totally researched yet. My heart and prayers go out to her family and loved ones effected by such a loss. I had the very beautiful warrior painting of her painted by Dean Williams in my livingroom….too bad it’s in the possesion of my ex-husband now. But it’s an awesome painting of her and capurted so appropriatly of the warrior she was and always will be in the hearts and memories of all who knew her and knew of her.

Sad indeed, I was a fan. Suicide is a controversy, if its ok to take ones life, then why does the world have such suicide prevention programs? Why do we even need them if all you have to do is kill yourself and you are automatically in a better place? heck if thats the case, we all need to check out, what is the purpose of overcoming and fighting if everyone automatically goes to a ” better place”? Because each person is born with an instinct that suicide is not right, thats why there are support programs to attempt to assist those who are depressed. I hope she’s in a better place but suicide is murder of ones self, how can you be foregiven of murder if you cant repent of it since you are already dead? If you cannot repent, God cannot forgive you hence a ” better place ” seems unlikey, sorry

Rob,

How do you know if there is no life after death? Have you experianced death to know? Obviously not?

So steroids was not the reson she committed suicide. But, could steroids have made her manic depressive or bi-polar? Well, if you pump a bunch of chemicals into your body, one can only assume.

Is her death sad? Yes it is. No onw knows where she is now. If she was saved, she is in heaven as no where in the bible is self destruction a sin that will send you to hell. But only God knows where she is.

If you think there is no life after death and there is no heaven or hell, then you, my friend, are the one who is mistaken. You’ll be going to one or the other when you die, so you’d better be prepared. Sorry to break the news.

& sad to hear about the loss.

Very sad indeed. My heart goes out to her family and friends.

I do agree that she ISN’T in some “better place”, unless that better place only suggests her being free from an obviously pained existence. There is no heaven or hell; no life after death.

Shelley was a talented bodybuilder and athlete, and, by all accounts, a warm and friendly woman.

Again, very sad.

Respectfully,

Rob
