It has been 8 years since we last saw you, and I know you are at peace now, but you will always be with us in heart and mind. You are one in a million my dear daughter Shelby and always in my thoughts each day. Thank you to Shelby's Aunt Yvonne, my big sis, for the beautiful web page that keeps you with us with each season, for all the hard work and soul that she puts into cherishing each and every memory and joy that you brought to our lives! priceless

Missing you Shelby. This year, in just a few days, you would be turning 40. Wow... hard to believe. I think of you often, and the pain of your loss is always just there under the skin. When you left this world you took a piece of my heart and soul. I still wish it were all a bad dream and I could just pick up the phone and call, or see you on FB and message. Would love to just see you one more time!!! Hug you and tell you that I love you!!!!!

Missing you Shelby!!! You were on my mind and my heart was hurting throughout the day yesterday. You would have been 39. I just want to call and hear your voice, to hear your laugh. You had such a wonderful laugh and an incredible smile!!!! Love you so dearly!!!

Sweet Shelby...the sadness of you being gone never goes away.

I am trying to connect with life again, have my moments still:) ready to realize the truth and remember that even though she isn't here in a physical sense.
I know for a fact, she is truly still here in the mind and spirit, because I sense her presence at the oddest of moments and in the eyes of her sisters and her boys, yesterday as Logan was leaving, he was running to the car, stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at me dead in the eyes and said "I will miss you Grandma" and then went on to the car. As we were leaving the basketball bldg to go to the next place, Peyton looked at me and said "I want to ride with Grandma because I do not want her to be lonely riding all by herself, he said Mariah, want to ride with Grandma", and they both did.
Kids speak the truth when adults aren't listening...children are messengers of what angels would say - don't you think? these are things that Shelby would say she was very thoughtful of others and always put them first before herself.

Dearest Shelby! Love and missing you. I remember the Halloweens of the past. I want to believe that you are still with us!! Today I know that you would be having such fun with your boys. Dressing up in costumes, buying lots and lots of candy for the trick or treater's, and carving pumpkins. I miss you laughter, I can still hear you and just wish that I could call and wish you a Happy Halloween. Just missing you!

Shelby you have been on my mind and in my dreams lately. Life has gone on, our lives are full of activity. Yet my memories of you are still strong. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to know and love you. What an amazing person you were, and still are in my heart. You have become my teacher of life. Your passion and pursuit of happiness will be with me forever! I only wish that you were here to share the experiences. Love and missing an absolutely incredible individual, who I knew to be truly a special soul from the day she was born. The impact that Shelby had and still has on my life is profound.

If I only had five minutes the day you passed away, I would have had time to tell you all the things I needed to say. I never got to tell you how much you mean to me. The last time I talked to you I wish I would have known. I would have said I love you, and kept you on the phone. If I only had five minutes the day you passed away, I'd give you one last hug so tight and see your great big smile. I'd kiss your cheek and tell you that I'll miss you more than you'll ever know..

Shelby missing you more than words can express. I don't even no what I am feeling other than the emptiness of totally sadness. I am telling myself that we should celebrate your life, laugh at your humor, and be grateful for the time we did have together. However it is hard to not think of all the times that we should have had, and all the successes you should have experienced. Love you!

I can't believe it'll be a year tomorrow that you've been gone. I miss you more every day. I'll continue to share our memories and guide your boys to become the men you'd want them to be. I know you're looking over them every day and are truly their angel. Love your sister

Dearest Shelby - It seems that holidays come around sooner than before now that you are gone. You and I would have been talking about what each of us were doing for the holiday. Memorial day weekend would generally include camping at the lake, BBQ out, family and friends having a great time. Love and miss you horribly!!! You will forever be in my heart and I think of you often!

On the eve of Mother's Day I'm thinking about Shelby. So many pictures, birthday parties and fun times she shared with her beloved sons. I believe being a Mother to Peyton and Logan was the most important role in her life. She beamed with pride and joy when talking about them. Her love will forever be with them. You are so missed Shelby. Your sudden loss affected me profoundly. My way of looking at life changed. Wish you were still here.

As Mother Day approaches I find myself thinking of you, which flowers to send you this weekend. You loved your boys so deeply Shelb, they are wonderful children and will grow to be great men. Springtime will always remind me of you. The sunshine, having fun outdoors, gardening, beautiful flowers and swimming. I miss you my dear Shelby - you touched my life so deeply. Wishing you were still with us to enjoy one more spring and mother's day!!!

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I miss our conversations, your words of encouragement, and your advice. You were my protector and I feel lost without you.
Tuesday, 4/6/10, 7:32 PM
I so wish you were here to celebrate your birthday with us. I can still hear your incredible laugh. You brought such joy into my life, I took it for granted and now you are gone and my heart aches. I miss you so very much Today we celebrate your life - you were a special one, and touched so many. I will love you always.

Christmas has lost it's glimmer and joy. I am not certain if it will ever regain the happiness and fun it once held, without Shelby here. She loved the holidays so much!

Life continues, except there is a sadness that can at times be all consuming. Shelby should be with us, yet life is so random that she is gone. Not sure what to do with that - other than cherish the memories that I have, and share with others that loved her too.

Shelby was so quick to find humor, always smiling even during some of her most difficult times. She was always there to help someone in need. She loved her children, and cherished her friends and family that were there for her. She was taken too soon, it is all so very sad and at times unbelievable that this could happen. Shelby you are missed, and will forever be loved, and remain in my heart.

What a beautiful light in the world. All her beauty to end so soon such a wonderful woman and god will protect her now.

I am really sorry to hear about your loved one. I can remember Shelby, April and I playing barbies after school almost everyday. She will be truly missed. ~ Janell DeWitt, Topeka, Kansas

I just logged on today and thought to myself, wonder what Shelby is up to today..... I am shocked and saddened. My world has been rocked by this tragic news. There are no words. Bart Annie Peters

This is a wonderful site to have, I looked here everyday. I am certain I will miss her for the rest of my life, I only hope that the pain and sadness will lessen as the years go by. There are still moments that I think she is still with us and this has all been a horrible mistake. Love and miss her!

I know someone who thought Shelby was very special.

Thanks Yvonne for updating this page with such wonderful pictures. When I look at this every day it reminds me of everything that was so amazing about Shelb. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her every minute, wishing I could talk to her, or to see her smiling face. She was not only my sister but my friend and I miss her so.
Saturday, 9/5/09, 12:54 AM
Shelby, although it has been many years since I have seen you, I will always remember you as being a good friend. I will miss you. My heart goes out to the family. Please know that I am so very sorry for your loss, she was a wonderful person. Thank you for this beautiful website. I did not know of her passing and feel this is a great way to say good bye.
