My heart is real heavy for the lost of my Kindergarten baby I feel you all pain because it hurt me. Shelby was a beautiful person I saw her last year and she hugged me so and she told me you are still short I said old people don’t grow she just laugh.She is in the arms of our Lord he went into his garden and the perfect flower and that was our girl Shelby. I will pray that you all be strong and hold on to each other. We will miss that smile she had and trust God to give you all peace.RIP Shelby we love you . Ira Felder&Family

To Shelby Family and Friends , May you have peace and comfort during this most grievous time. The Bible speaks of death as an enemy. 1 Corinthians 15:26 refers to death as the, "last enemy." Almighty God is going to eliminate this enemy in the future. That same scripture says, it is going to be destroyed forever .What a wonderful future blessing when death is going forever. May you continue have peace and comfort during this most difficult time.

I am Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I am free,
I'm following paths God made for me
I took his hand, I heard him call
Then turned, and bid farewell to all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to sing, to play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found my peace...at close of play.

And if my parting left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened...deep with sorrow
I wish you sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full I've savored much
Good friends, good times
A loved ones touch

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now
He set me free

May God Bless you Family during this difficult time.
