Shelby will truly be missed. I'm thankful for the many conversations we shared. He was very insightful surpassing his age group. His gifts he shared were no doubt god sent for our family as well as friends.

A word of comfort in your time of sorrow is that Jehovah God promises to swallow up death forever and wipe away the tears from all faces.

My condolences to the family. I know losing someone in death is very sad. But the almighty God Jehovah gives us comfort when he tells us at John 5 :28,29 that will be a resurrection of our love ones. I am so sorry for your loss .
