Although things does not go right for Shelby, she does not let it get to her. Through her humor and warmth, she took the time to be acquainted with everyone. Her spirit will be dearly missed. God Bless all those who had been an inspiration through her.

My deepest sympathy To the family and coworkers of Shelby. I had the PLEASURE of knowing Shelby, first as a client, then as a friend. When my father passed away in Sept 2007, Shelby would call to check on me and ALWAYS had time to listen and somehow make me laugh. Her family meant the world to her. Often we shared stories of our children & familes with each other. Shelby will NEVER be forgotten and ALWAYS missed.

My sincere condolences to the family of Shelby Belcher. I had the pleasure of knowing Shelby in Jr. High and High School. I was very sad to hear of her passing. It is my sincere prayer that your family collectively finds the strength needed to see you through this time of sorrow. Always, hold tight to the memories you have of Shelby and she will live on forever in your hearts.

Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there ye may be also. - John 14:2
