I went to school with Shelby, from Kindergarten all the way thru High School. Shelby was one the nicest people that you'd ever meet in the world, kind and down to earth. She loved animals and was a good athlete as well. The world will not be as nice of a place without her, but, heaven just got a wonderful angel. May God be with her and her family.
We are so sorry for your loss. Shelby was one of a kind. She was so full of love and always had a kind word for everyone she met. Shelby's mom was my mom's cousin. To her family…you are in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace Shelby in the most beautiful place of all. Grayland and Connie

Shelby was more than just our sister-in-law, she was a great friend..I often told people she was the BEST thing that ever happened to Mike…she always had a smile on her face….Mike loved her so very much and I’m sure he came to take her home when it was her time….Shelby, I will miss you more than you will ever know…until we meet again, rejoice in paradise and enjoy your reunion with Mike…Love ya Babe…
Many years ago, Shelby and Mike worked with my father. My father had an car accident and needed a vehicle to go to work. Your parents generously offered them a truck they had. After he got his vehicle back, my father gave them a $200 gift card and a thank you card with a personal message inside. They refused the gift card and told him the note was enough. As I told someone, "Who gives back $200?!?" Only someone like Shelby, who knew a heartfelt thank you is better than any amount of money. Much sympathy to her family and friends.
Shelby was one of the best childhood friends I have ever had. She never said a bad thing about anyone or ever complained. She was a light of sun shine when she walked into a room. No matter how long time had passed she always was the same. She caring, fun and never has forgotten where she came from. From one Grantfork girl to another Shelby you were the best! Love you!
