I only knew you for a short period of time - while me and Rosie were at Wray Common together, but I have a memory of me and Rosie playing in the small playground while waiting for Tina to finish a meeting. I tripped over and horribly grazed/cut my knee, so Rosie ran to get you from inside. I can remember as clear as if it were yesterday how you ran and picked me up, carried me inside and wiped the tears from eyes. It is only a small memory but shows the caring, loving nature that was so clear to everyone that met you. I am glad that I knew you even if for a short time xxx

The Brightest Star/Split Second by Peter Maxwell [Shelby’s uncle] The call it came, but not believed It can't be true, we are deceived This can't be right, it must be wrong A split second and you were gone. My heart it hurts, and feels so broke Fates having a laugh, a cruel sick joke My head it hurts, and feels such pain Will my broken heart, ever mend again. Is fate so cruel, and so unkind? That we're the ones, left here behind I stop and think, and all the while I see your face, your beautiful smile. The call it came, but not believed It can't be true, we are deceived This can't be right, it must be wrong A split second, and you were gone. The time will come, to say goodbye But all I know, will sit and cry For heaven gained, another star The brightest one, it's seen so far. We all will weep, and all will moan That we're the ones, left here alone I cannot think, my mind is numb I cannot speak, I am struck dumb. The call it came, but not believed It can't be true, we are deceived This can't be right, it must be wrong A split second, and you were gone. You were too young, or so it seems To loose your hopes, to loose your dreams But fate had plans, from a higher power And stole away, a beautiful flower. I'm sure we'll laugh, I'm sure we'll cry I'm sure we'll sit, and question why But heaven's, gained another star The brightest one, of all by far.

You are a fantastic family and it was an honour to a be part of your lives, you have all left lasting thoughts and memories with me that I will never forget. Shelby will be so proud that you continue to honour her memory with your charity work. Look after yourselves, Steve.

Always in our thoughts beautiful Shelbs. Keep Aunty June and Nanny out of mischief up there. ( I know a tough job) but if anyone can you can. Love always Xxx

I want to say what a fabulous family you are. You were all so strong at Shelby's funeral and everything you said came from your hearts. Your strength will keep you all going forwards together and your memories of Shelby will be there for ever to share. Sending you my love and I will keep an eye on this memorial site as I would be keen to help with any fundraising you are planning xxx Barbara

The Missing Sister The beam of light that disappears from your life is only the beginning of the torture, it's the days that follow that make the pain unbearable, there is no flicker of hope, for the light is gone. The mind does not rest now, as it can't comprehend the darkness in the world, you hope that a glimmer of light will awaken you from the black of the day and the night, but darkness is relentless. The darkness gives the mind no hope, the realisation the darkness will never be shattered by the glimmer of light from her beaming smile grows. Just one smile would pull the mind from eternal darkness but the smile never comes, she possessed the power of light and it was her warmest gift. By Harry Gillespie-Boarer

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Shelby Boarer. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
