    Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your precious Shelby. I know words can do little to help, but I hope you can find some comfort in the promises found in the Bible. We can look forward to being reunited with our loved ones in a world without sickness and death (John 5:28,29;Rev.21:4). Sincerely, Jennifer
