Condolence From: Abdallah Umar Muhammad
Condolence: My name is Abdallah Umar Muhammad and I now reside in the Gambia, West Afrika. I was born with the slave name of Ernest Levell Mays in Topeka, Kansas and attended Washington Elementary School from kindergarten to 9th grade with the late Shelley Douglas Wilder. I knew her personally and even communicated with her a few times after my family moved to the State of Illinois in the mid 19660's and afterwards. May Allah Subhana Wa-Ta-Ala bless her soul!!!

Condolence From: Patricia A. Bell
Condolence: To the Douglas Wilder Families: I am heartbroken to learn of Shelley’s transition. The older Bell siblings started playing with Shelley as neighborhood children when I was in kindergarten at Washington Elementary School. As time went progressed my sister Gloria and I became sisters by LOVE with Shelley. I always admired and respected Shelley for sharing her life, her parents and grandparents with us unselfishly. We could be seen tagging along at baseball games, trips to the library and fire house to visit Joe, including church. We’d sit around the piano singing while Mrs. Douglas and/or Shelley played, playing chess, listening to music, talking about life situations and how to make better decisions and wiser choices. I thank God for Shelley’s beautiful soul and we will forever be SISTERS BY LOVE thru all eternity.

Condolence: To the Family of Shelley Wilder: I worked with Shelley for a long time at Westar Energy. I met Shelley in 1996 at my first job here at Westar. Her last 4 years before retiring I was blessed to have her sit in the office beside me at the Topeka GO on 5th Floor. Shelley had a great sense of humor and laugh. She was always engaging and she helped people around her be successful. Shelley will be missed. My thought and prayers are with her family. God Bless.

The family of the Reverend Lee Elder and Dr. Chanda Mayers-Elder share in your sorrow at the passing of your daughter, Shelley Douglas Wilder. I have only met your dearest Shelley a few times, however, it was very evident that she is the perfect combination of you--two very dear friends of the Elder Family. Please know that we are with you in spirit today as you celebrate the wonderful being that you shared so selflessly with the world.
