Shelby was a wonderful and amazingly talented young woman. She sang, played piano, and wrote all of her own music. She released her debut album "From In The Shadows" in 1999, followed by a small tour. She was only 15 years old at that point. She was also a humble woman, having once said "I didn't know what I was doing was special or good. It's just something that I did ." Shelby struggled with bulimia nervous, a dysphoric eating disorder. Complication from this are ultimately was took her life. Her mother continued to advocate, in her honor. It is a tragedy that this amazing young woman would never see the effect that she would have on her family, friends, and fans. The world lost a beautiful treasure when Shelby left it.
