Rian and MeLea,
I just heard about your terrible loss. I am so sorry for you, but I know that through your faith you will be with your beloved daughter again.
MeLea, I have been thinking about you quite a bit the past few months...wondering where you are and how you were doing. I haven't seen you since your wedding and I've just been remembering all the good times we shared on our missions. I'm glad I finally found you, but sad it occurred under these circumstances. Again, I am so sorry for the loss of your little angel. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
Love ya!

Dear Melea,
We were so sad to learn of your loss. We were out of town and didn't hear about this till last night. Our hearts ache for you and your family and can't imagine what a hard time you are having. We sincerely hope that the peace of the Gospel will help comfort you and that our Savior's love will support and sustain you until the pain you are feeling is gradually replaced by the wonderful memories of the short time you had with your little princess. Our love also goes out to your parents as I know how difficult it would be to let go of a sweet grandchild. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. It was such a coincidence to find out that you live less than a block away from Josh and his family. You've always been such a strong and happy person. I know the Lord loves you and your family and will help you through this difficult time.
With love from the Pierce Family

My most sincere prayers are with your entire family through the loss of your little angel. I just received an email from Marcia this a.m. and did not know. I work with Jack and Jared and just want you all to know how saddened I am by this news for you but I know this little girl must be very special and very strong for Heavenly Father to need her at this time. You will be deeply blessed for giving her her needed time here on earth and being such a good family for her to experience. Much Love In Christ, Sue Hansen

Rian and MeLea,
I want to express our condolences. We were deeply saddended to hear about what happened to your precious daughter, Shelbi. We (my husband, Eric and I and our son) were not able to make it time for the viewing due to unreliable directions but we were there for the funeral services and the funeral was beautiful.
I wanted to approach you and give you a hug and give you our support but the family prayer had just ended and you and Rian was at the casket with Shebli, spending one last moment with her and wrapping her up before the casket was being closed so I decided to leave you alone and let you have that moment alone with her and not let that moment be interrupted and I am so glad I did not interrupt because I wanted you to remember it.
With the Gospel in our lives, just know that we will see each other in the next life, makes it all worth it...May the Lord bless you and your family...With Love,

It's nice to see this book for others to express their sympathies for you. I'm grateful that you have so many friends and families who care and thought of your family. You both are amazing, and we hope that both of you will find peace throughout all of this. We'll always remember your daughter. We're sure that she'll want all of us to be happy and she'll be anxious to see all of us again someday. Our lives here will be short when we can have all eternity! :)
With lots of love, Brady and Allyssa Cluff

Dear Melea and Rian, I can't express how sorry I am to hear about your little princess. I was shocked and sad to hear the news. I'm sorry we couldn't attend the funeral, we were out of town. I heard the service was just beautiful. I just want to express that I'm truly sorry. I regret for not meeting her. She is sure beautiful and looks just like you, Melea. I'm thankful that you and I know the Lord's plan and that you will be able to meet again. I would love to see you when you're ready.

Melea,
I don't know if you even remember me, but I am one of the Seal kids. Due to my receiving poor directions, I wasn't able to make it in time for the viewing, but I was there for the funeral. What an incredibly strong spirit I felt just being there!! From that, I know that you have a very special little girl and that you are an amazing family! I also know that Heavenly Father is pouring out His spirit of peace upon you right now. Your family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Today when I saw Shelbi's obituary in the paper I felt so sad for the parents that lost such a beautiful little girl. I couldn't believe it when I noticed the name and my heart ached to see that she was yours. I was thinking about you just the other day and wondered how you were doing, where you were living now, etc. I am so sorry for your loss and pray that you will be strengthened at such a difficult time. I love and miss you.

My name is Josie Peterson, and I work for Brad Sheppard. I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you. Although I did not know Shelbi, she is beautiful. She must have been a very special girl. On October 3 of this year my 17 year old brother passed away, so to hear of another loss of a child just breaks my heart. The coming days a months will be so hard, and pain so real. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My the Lord bless you with comfort during this very trying time.

Its just not fair! We were sick when we heard what happened and still have a hard time believing it is real....... sorry doesnt begin to express how we feel about the emptiness you must be experiencing. Cameron and Shelbi were always such good friends and good examples for Ryan and Seth. The love we experienced and the many things we learned from your family are treasured memories we think of often. Heavenly Father will be very close to you at this time, he knows what it is like. Christ will help you carry this burden. We pray for your family many times each day, we love you and wish we could be with you now.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. When you lose a child there are no words to express how your feeling. I have 3 children, and I can honestly say that it would be the hardest thing to go through.Know that the Lord is with you, and that you will see her again. I really believe that the lord takes certain children, because they are the chosen ones. She must have been very faithful before she came to earth. I really believe the Lord allowed her to return home, so she would not have to go through the trials that we are going experience here in the last days, Know that my prayers are with you. She was a beautiful little girl, and I hope that you find comfort knowing you will see her again some day.
January 1, 2009
I am sorry for your loss. It was just the other day she was teaching the primary sign language. She was taught by very righteous parents who helped her fulfill her calling her on earth. May peace be with your family in this time of need.
