I have been thinking about Shiketta a lot over the years. I finally decided to try to find her last night and unfortunately found this instead. It breaks my heart that she passed so young. She was the sweetest, most gentle person I ever knew. She was a great friend to me when we were kids and I always looked forward to seeing her again. I’m sorry that we drifted apart over the years. I cherish the memories I have of her and I am so blessed that she chose to be my friend. My sympathies to her family. Susan Jankowski

Shiketta was my ex wife. I met her 9 years ago online via YouTube. As the months passed by we became internet lovers. Eventually in Oct '10 I ended up flying out east to meet her. Im from Western Canada. Well the journey was gruelling for me be it that I endured painfully long layovers in Seattle and Detroit. I was shocked at how warm the weather was when I arrived in Upstate NY. Just like through the power of the internet we hit it off personally. Now prior to that time I never had crossed multiple time zones before and experiencing jet lag wasnt too pleasant. I had a tour of the surrounding area . Most exciting part was I got to see the Woodstock site! That was so cool! We ended up being engaged two days before I left. I flew back home but this journey was more rushed as I hurried to find the next terminals on my transfer flights home. I nearly found myself stranded in Salt Lake City before touching down in Vancouver. We kept in touch the next 6 months until it was her turn to come see me to become a Canadian citizen. She ended up travelling by train out to Seattle where I picked her up. We spent time in Seattle before attempting to cross the border and thats where a nightmare unfolded before our eyes. I misplaced my Canada passport for starters and customs officials instantly became suspicious towards both of us. We spent almost 3 hours in a cramped Canada Customs station. I swear that by the next hour I was going to end up having claustrophobia. After their determination and due to the fact we were poorly prepared to have Shiketta become a citizen and her having insufficient funds we were both turned away and headed back across to the States . After spending a week getting something planned we were granted access into Canada. Well what happened next is a longer story and I am eager to finish off this condolence. To Shiketta ,Im sorry about what you had to go through while you were here with me. We did have some good times. After years of thinking about it I ended up with a lot of guilt on how I left you out in the cold. I apologize. I was deeply saddened about your passing away. My condolences to you and your family. I hope that you didnt suffer greatly. Your ex Dave Meier.

Shiketta and I were friends online. She was someone that really listened to me, and she was a good friend. I am sorry for her loss, and I will be praying for her family.

Dear Shiketta, A name I've spent my whole life speaking of and writing to, now becomes a name attached to a memory. When you told me of your illness, I was heartbroken. I didn't know how to help you or how I would be able to move on after your passing. I intended to write you a letter letting you know of the positive impact you had on my life but I thought we had more time. I met you in Kindergarten - Mrs. Keller's class. We were friends through many of the grades we went through. We were best friends and inseparable since 6th grade. Long before the ease of texting and facetime, when I moved away we kept in touch through letters sent in the mail and long distance phone calls. I visited you on my trips back to NY and you flew to see me here in Arkansas. Letters led to emails and emails led to facebook. We talked every day. You were apart of all of my life changes, even if you weren't present, your spirit was with me. You've seen me go through break-ups, marriage, hardships, successes, and three children. One of them you were able to see grow up and graduate high school and even college. I was always able to be myself around you. I never had to pretend or change who I was. You just accepted me for who I was - my goofiness, silliness, imperfections and all. Everyone should have a friend that they feel they can truly be themselves around with no inhibitions and pretentiousness. I imagine my life would have been a whole lot lonelier if you hadn't been in it. We sure did share a lot of good times - watching comedies together, acting out skits that we wrote together, speaking for hours on the phone, and all of the inside jokes we shared. As adults, we became supporters of each others convictions and interests and life cheerleaders. I never knew you had such little time. Without you, I know I will never be the same. Life just can't be the same without your piece of the puzzle in it. I just wish you had a chance to see this. I'm so sorry to lose you, my dear lifelong friend. Love, Julia
