Shannon,
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your sister. My condolenses to you and the rest of your family.
My payers are with you.
So sorry for your loss! I knew Shelbie when she was at the Cambridge ALC. She was a sweet young lady! Prayers for family and friends.
..Shelbie Merrill has impacted my life more than she will ever know.
I would not be in my life where i am without her.
Shelbie is an amazing person, and makes very large impacts to others, although she may not have known…..
I wish i would have told Shelbie how much hope towards my life that shes gave me…

I had the great pleasure of working with Shelbie. She was always a great person to talk to and her many great qualities shone through. It is with a heavy heart to learn she has passed away, and I wish the best for her family.
To the Merrill family. I do not know you but I feel I know Luke a little bit from YouTube and Facebook. You have gone through allt lately. Davids double lung operation and Denise breaking her leg. Then the car accident. A person sometimes questions God , why am I having so much trouble or pain. It is a question people ask over and over. Your son Luke is a wonderful person and seems tohe a good friend. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree. David and Dennise you have my prayers and are in my thaughts. I will continue to pray for you family. I have been praying since Luke mentioned Davids need for a lung transplant. GODBLESS
