This makes me very sad. Shelby was the sweetest person and I enjoyed being in Sunday School with her! The family is my prayers!
I am praying for family and friends.
She was very special to me. I will surely miss her, especially at the family reunions and our frequent phone calls.
Love you Shelby
Sweet lady and classmate of James'. Sorry for your loss.
So many memories of your sweet mama, my Aunt Shelby! My earliest memory of her is staying with her and your dad for a week in the summer after they married. She always had a heart of gold and love in her heart for everyone!
So sorry to hear about Shelby. she was a sweet lady. Prayers for all of the family during this difficult time.
RIP Shelby, you will be missed so much. Love you.
Kris
Barbara & family,
