Shay once posted on F/B a quote that describe her as a young vibrate woman, “A woman who speaks with her own voice, walked her own path fiercely, talked with grace and dignity, and she most defiantly dance to the rhythm of her own drum”. Shay loved God first and then her family and friends with love and respect. This was Shay!
