Shelby John Dow

To Em, Mrs. Dow, and Ally:

I'm so sorry for your loss, but at the same time I'm so glad that I had the chance to know Mr. Dow...Dinner after Emily's Junior Ring Ceremony was a blast!! Liz and I will miss him, and we are always here to support the Dow family in all you do.

Love, Kate and Liz

My condolences to Shelby's family. I went to school with Shelby, having grown up in Draper, and I graduated from Jordan High the same year as he did. From reading his obituary, I'm happy to learn that he accomplished a lot in his short life (I'm 56, also, and I don't think this is "old" yet). He was always a very nice person, friendly to everyone. He's now blessing the lives of those who are on the other side, who need his special kind of friendship. May God be with you until you are together...

To the family, loved ones, and friends of Shelby: You are in my thoughts and prayers. How lucky for animals that he has been an untiring and continual advocate for their rights in this world. We need many more committed individuals like Shelby. God bless and comfort you all at this difficult time.

Dear Lynne, Elissa Anne, Christian, Allison Marie, Allyson, Emily and grandchildren,

It is with great sadness that I write this today. It is hard to believe that my cousin, Shelby, being younger than me, would depart so unexpectedly. I loved him so much, as did you all, I'm sure.

I know my sadness is probably nowhere as profound as yours, but never-the-less, my heart goes out to you all at this time. Anytime is a hard time to lose a loved one, but especially it...
