Every day without you here is so hard for so many of us. It makes me so proud you are remembered by so many. You thought you were alone with no friends yet as time passes so many come forward with stories that speak to how you touch each one of us. I know you are with us in spirit, forever in my heart. Thank you everyone for sharing stories and remembering my baby.

I had Shayla as a student. I was just going through some old student work and came across a paper she'd written for me. She was a talented student and the world does miss her. Her memory remains in many ways, with many people. All the best in the new year to us all.

Well tonight is the night before Easter morning. I was out hiding eggs today. Couldn't help but remember the Easter morning when Skip for the first time we put him in charge of hiding the egg's. You were so funny both you and Paige went outside and relocated the eggs the he did. You said it was because he didn't hide them good enough, Skip could not believe you actually went out and re hid the eggs for the kids :-) Boy do I miss those days. Happy Easter Shay.

I miss you terribly, the kids talk of you always, oh how much they miss you, we think of you often ...but you know all of that ... always in our thoughts and hearts ...things can never be the same without you here. When you left you took a piece of everyone's heart with you, baby. Until some day when we meet again ... always in my heart. Love you forever, Auntie Lisa, Christopher and Kiana

No, it doesn't seem like this much time has passed. Not much has changed but so much has changed. I am a faithful follower of Jesus & read the Bible daily, grampa Lister has a new puppy & a few new cats, Killy has a new dog, gramma Jean needs back surgery, Uncle Joe is a grandfather, Brittany had a baby girl, your cousin Chris has his own apt now. See, so much has changed. BUT WE ALL STILL LOVE & MISS YOU VERY MUCH. See, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

Its been 3 years since our lives changed forever. There isn't a day that goes by that I can't help but think of you. Today its a hard day for so many of us as its the day the world lost such an incrediable person. You tough so many of us to be yourself, to never be afraid to standout and its OK to be unique. Most of your closest friends graduated this year and for their finals wrote a paper about you. They each wrote about how you changed their view on life. Because of you I truely believe so many will be better people because of what you represented. I love you always and forever!! Love Mom

Well it is Easter. HE DIED AND ROSE AGAIN TO RID US OF OUR SINS. GOD BLESS YOU & TAKE CARE OF YOU. You are missed and loved by everyone. I just know you are smiling down at us all. How did you like my bunny face at the Easter Egg hunt at my church Sat? Pretty cute huh? I did it all by myself. Behave yourself if not we will have to take away your hair rinses!!!

My school years are winding down and I’m off to college soon, and now I think back about my school experience. It astounds me how much of an effect Shay had on me. When everyone is just trying to fit in, in middle school, Shay is herself. She gave me the ability to realize that I too could just be myself, and she is essentially the reason why I am who I am today. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about Shay and how she affected me. I just wish I was able to tell her about the effect she had one me, although I’m sure she sees it every day.
I would rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not. Truer words were never spoken, Shay. I think of that every day of my life.
Miss ya Shay,
Rob

Merry Christmas Shay. This was the 3rd Christmas without you. Reading some most recent entries just continues to show the memories you left behind will live on forever. You tough so many to just be yourself. Not to be afraid to stand out for what you believe in and that its OK to be unique. You will live on forever in our hearts and missed always. Love you!

Shayla Rose:
Melinda, Holly, and I only knew you as a little girl. I remember your mom and dad being sooo proud of you. Your dad told every soldier in the unit that you would be the first woman president. Your mom would sit and read stories to you and Minda, and you both played in the back yard. Even though I have not seen you since you sat on my lap, and told santa what you wanted for christmas, I will miss you, and will check in on mom and dad for you here and again. I wish we got the chance to know you better as you got older.

We still miss you at Quality Music Lessons. I always think about the new music you would have loved to be singing and playing now and how you would probably be writing full songs by now! I miss you.

Hi Shay, I come here and read what everyone has to say to you once in a while. And I think about you always. I always know when you're there whispering a silent hello. I miss you a lot, even though we never got as close after we stopped patrolling the mall together with Kelly every Friday. I still won't ever forget the last time I saw you and you told me how beautiful I looked and all that jazz. You always knew how to make someone smile. I miss you, and the world is just a little less brighter with you gone. I'm so glad that you're looking over me and everyone else now. I couldn't ask for a better guardian angel.

My dear niece. I hope you like the plant I left for you. It is soft and spreads out to make a great ground rug. The heart was just for you. I hope you liked that too. We love you honey and miss you. I hope you and Uncle Herb had a great time at his B-day party. I found a picture of the perfect dress you wore for it Sat.
Take care of each other and your grandma & friends. At least none of you are alone. You all have family there to watch over you and keep you company and LOVE YOU.

Dear Shay,
It has been one year since our lives changed forever. With every passing day more and more friends, family, teachers, so many people, reach out to share a story. It makes me proud to know how many people you touched in your lifetime. Never afraid to be yourself. The loss we feel will never go away but I know you are still here with us just moved to a different place in our hearts. I love you so much babe and miss you more than you will ever know. Love Mom

Today Shay's Aunt, Uncle and I went to her grave dug out 2 feet of snow and put 2 Christmas Tree's on each side of the stone. I know if my heart she is watching over us and will guide me along the way. This is a very difficult time for many of us & all I can say is she will always be missed but will live on in my heart forever. May her memory live in all of us. I love you my Angel.

Angie,
When I heard about Shayla, my heart broke in two. I know that there are no words that could ever make any of this any better or easier for you, I just want you to know that not a day has gone by that I have not thought about and prayed for you and your family. I'm sorry we didn't get to go to any of the services you had for Shayla... I hope you understand.
I know you've heard this a thousand times already from everyone, but if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. I hope you are doing well.
Love you.

I will always remember her big smile and what a great friend she was to Matthew.

I hardly knew Shayla, but I know she was an amazing friend, and an awesome person. My friends were friends with her, and all I heard was good things about her. It's hard losing somebody you went to school with, regardless of how well, or how long you knew then. I'm sorry for the family's loss. Rest Easy Shayla.

I've been teaching Shayla voice and piano lessons for the past two years. I was so upset to hear the terrible news. She was a sweet, funny, talented, and creative girl. We all looked forward to her coming in so we could see what kind of new hairstyle she would have this week! She had a beautiful singing voice and she and I talked often about how much she was improving and how great of a musician she was going to be. She always made me laugh with her quirkiness, the way she would crinkle up her face when she made a mistake at the piano, the way she would say a note was "lame" if it was difficult. She was so much fun and I can't believe I won't be able to spend an hour each week with her anymore. Shayla you are very missed around Quality Music Lessons. I won't forget you.

Shayla Rose, what a beautiful Rose. It only seems such a short time ago you were born. I remember when you said your first words and took your first step. Time seemed to fly and you were in kindergarden, then grade school and you were taking dance lessons, following your musical urges. As you hit your teen years, you decided to take voice lessons. What an Angelic voice.The good Lord heard this Angelic voice and He decided He needed this voice in his choir. Shayla, Your voice will always be in my heart. I love you,dear. Grammy Jean

Dear Uncle bob and ang. I am so sorry for your loss as well as this families loss. I really wish I could have been around more to be a bigger part of her life. I really never got to know her all that well, but what I did know will stay with me forever as will it with you.

To Shayla's family:
Shayla was one of my homeroom students in 7th grade. I have a card that I have kept in my Bible that she had given to me just before I left to have my daughter, two years ago. It was a message of encouragement and excitement about the new baby and also to let me know that she was going to miss me for the rest of the year. It is because of students like her that I thoroughly enjoyed teaching middle school. I enjoyed having her around, because she was not afraid to be honest, she had a lot of spunk, and she was a caring young lady. I will be praying for you all in the days to come. Please know that Shayla had an impact on many people...even her 7th grade teacher!
Love, Mrs. H

Dear Bob & Angela, Words cannot express our heart felt sadness for the loss of your Shayla.

Our consolation is that we believe in a continuation of our spirit that lives for eternity in the house of the Lord.

When you perservere through a trial,
God gives you a special measure of insight. You become
the recipient of the favor of God as He gives to you , and those who suffer with you, something that would not be learned otherwise.
He will redeem my
soul in peace from the battle
which is against me,
Psalm 55:18
Angie, you are in my thoughts.
I think of you as "one of the kids".

Words cannot describe how amazing Shane was as a friend. The day we first met is fresh in my mind as if it were yesterday, and I remember how we instantly clicked. Not surprisingly it became clear that our frindship was the highlight of my junior year, if not my entire high-school career. We spent massisve amounts of time together talking about the great and the wierd moments in our lives. It was just that, the conversations, that was the best about you. Everyday you would come to school with a brand new story. Honestly you were one of the best friends in my life, and while I may not show it to others, I will be grieving your death for years to come. Our frienship was an amazing experience full of laughter, that I would relive again without a second thought.
This is for an incredible friend
who will be greatly missed..

Shay and I were really good friends at the begining of the year and I will never forget how great of a friend she was. She always had a smile on her face and made me laugh til I peed my pants. Every one loved her and will miss her.
I remember the first day of school she sat by herself at lunch so I asked her if she wanted to come sit with me and my friends and she did. Thats how our friendship started.
I love and miss you Shayla.

I had the pleasure of having Shayla in my 8th grade Language Arts class. She was very intelligent, unique, creative, and had a lot of spunk. I will miss that most. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and close friends. Shayla will probably never know just how many people truly loved her.

I can't even beging to imagine what you are going through. If I could turn the clocks back, both Tommy and Shayla would be with us now. I can only hope that he is watching out for her and that can be some sort of comfort to you. You know that on earth or in heaven Tommy will take care of her. You are in my thoughts and prayers. If you need anything I am here and please don't hesitate to ask for anything.

Dear Angela,
Shayla was such a special person. She was so bright, intuitive and empathetic. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with her. She was so much older than her age and thought about things so deeply. I am so sorry you are bearing this loss and pain.
I have frequently thought of both of you, and of course Robbie waiting for his Airhead :-). Please take care of yourself and know I am just a phone call away.

My heart goes out to the whole family but especially Bob, Ang and Paige. Shayla was a beautiful girl and always had a smile. I will think of her now holding Brandon's hand. I hope you can all find a comforting peace soon knowing she is being well taken care of and is surrounded by other angels like her.
