Our dear little Granddaughter. In your short little lifespan you touched the lives of many. Your Dad and Mom have learned to lean on the Lord for strength and comfort. Your valient struggle for every breath allowed your Parents only wish to come true. They wanted to know their little girl and let her feel their love. Though your life was short it was not without meaning. We will all look at life with a more eternal prospective and wait for our chance to see your sweet face again. We love you Shelby.

Shelby, Stephanie , Travis and Jory,

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your lives for the past 2 1/2 months. I have been truly blessed by your courage, patience and unconditional love. You have seen a miracle and had the chance of a life time to be with this precious child, but even more than that you were willing to let her go back home knowing how much it would would hurt. I want you to know that I am so proud of all of you and Grandma Cheryl as well. Shelby could not have come to a more loving caring and knowledgeable family as yours. The Lord is prasing your names for being willing to take on this great responsibility and I know Shelby is running all over heaven telling all the angels about you. You are my heros and I have enjoyed every moment in your home. Don't be surprised if I call for a while just to talk as I will greatly miss you if I don't

Love Maureen

Shelby, we are sorry we never had a chance to meet you in this life. We know your parents have loved you tremendously, and we deeply honor their efforts on your behalf. They have told us much about your unconquerable spirit, and our hearts have been touched, and our lives blessed, by the story of your humble sojourn here in this world. Who knows the measure of goodness that one tiny, little soul's light can bring? Your simple life has deepened our faith and broadened our understanding of our Heavenly Father's plan. Sleep peacefully, little angel, your noble work is done, as you are now eternally clasped in the boundless love of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
