God bless his ex-wife for being there at the end, despite an apparently acrimonious divorce.

I just got done listening to Shelly announce the sad news. God bless Scott and Shelly and all my Adams family brothers and Sipsters
. Thank you to Shelley’s husband for being man enough to allow Shelly to be with him to the very end.
