I met Shey through my uncle, Gerry Potoka, when I was shadowing his work schedule. I fell in love with Shey and stayed in touch with him as long as I could. I'm a singer-songwriter so we had music in common, as well as our faith. I'm still thankful for the light he brought and thankful he is now at rest with the Lord. When my sister passed away at a untimely age I felt better knowing that Shey would be there, among other people. Thank you for reading.
