"Shelby, You were such an amazing person. You have changed me so much in how I think and believe in myself. When you baby-sat me back when I was little you taught me to never be afraid and that what ever happens happens for a reason. You have influenced me because when ever I saw you you were always smiling and that made me smile because I thought that there was never a reason not to be happy. You lived an amazing life and now you are watching over us with that same smile that has changed so many of us. I will miss you so much and you will always and forever be in my thoughts and prayers. Sara Spence"

She was such a dear friend to Claire and one of her favorite Pi Phi sisters. She will be sorely missed by all and our hearts and prayers go out to you at this very difficult time. "

"I knew Shelby when we came in as Management Fellows together, and in our econ classes. While I didn't know her as well as I would have liked, she always made a point of saying hello whenever we saw each other. This only goes to show how wonderful Shelby was to everyone. Shelby was such a kind, strong, natural leader, and she will be missed terribly. My condolences to the Evans family. "

"LIsa and Family: I am so stunned and saddened to hear about your loss. I never met Shelby, but knowing LIsa, I am sure she was a very special young woman. My deepest sympathy to all of you."

When I look at her picture a flood of childhood memories come to mind, playing and growing up with Shelby, she was so fun and sweet and the first best friend I ever had. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.-Emily Renfro"

"In the late spring of 2008 Shelby and I had lunch together to catch up on her first year at DePauw. We talked in depth about all the years we spent together becoming friends, and not just as a student with her voice teacher. Although she loved her music and sang with such a lovely voice, she knew her greatest gift was in reaching people to try to make a positive impact on their lives. Shelby knew who she was; she knew what she wanted her life to be like. Her goals were high. I frequently would remind her what a classy lady she was. Her demeanor, her intelligence, her sincerity and her warmth define her essence. The genuine sweetness and caring that she truly felt for others leaves all of us with such a strong positive role model. My love for Shelby runs deep and I have so many precious memories of her. I am shocked and grieved beyond words at her passing. It will take a very long time for all of us who love her to adjust to this loss. But we will not, can not, forget her. She was in our lives so briefly but so purposely. My own life has been immensely enriched by having Shelby as a dear and honored friend. Thank you, Lisa, Carl and Lizzie for sharing her for so long with me. Bill and I extend our deepest sympathies to you as you adjust to this unbelievable loss. All my love, Jo "

"Shelby was such a welcoming, sweet person. I got to know her this past semester, and I enjoyed the times I spoke with her. She was really helpful when I missed class because of sickness. It was a terrible shock to hear this news. I'm thankful I got the chance to see her and say hi to her just a few days ago. Rest in peace, Shelby. "

"I am heartbroken as I write this, but I at the same time I feel so privileged to have known Shelby and to have had her as a student. She was a delightful, caring and talented individual. I will miss her winning smile. I am at the service of the Evans family, and I just want them to know that even though I knew her briefly, I remember her fondly."

"I knew Shelby only briefly, but her warm personality and strong work ethic was admirable and is something we should all try to imitate."

"Carleton, Lisa and Lizzie - Uncle James just called me tonight with this devastating news. I am almost without words to express my sorrow at Shelby's passing, and I want you to know that the family here in South Carolina are thinking of you, praying for you, and we wish you peace.If we can do anything please let us know.ED"

"Carl and Lisa:I was sadden by the news of your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. There is nothing we can say that can lighten the heavy hearts you are carrying, Please accept my deepest sympathy.Jeffrey S. Smith & Brinkley"

"Dear Evans Family,My fondest memories of Shelby had to be the two years in the Accents choir together. I had the true honor of being an officer of the choir with her. And even though she was only a grade below me, I always felt like she was so wise beyond her years. She knew how tough high school was for me, and she was always there to make me laugh hysterically (without even trying I might add!) Shelby, you were so beautiful and talented in many ways, not to mention your dedication to helping others is something that nobody will ever forget. Heaven has gained a real treasure of an angel. Shelby will be truly missed. I can only begin to hope and pray for your family as you go through this terrible tragedy. There are so many people pulling for your healing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. "

"Carl and family,Our hearts and prayers go out to you in this difficult time. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.Kevin & Cindy"

"Although I only knew Shelby for 9 short months, I feel truly blessed to have known her. I transferred in to DePauw this past year, and she was nothing but kind to me even before I was a Pi Phi. She had such a welcoming presence and always lit up the room with her beautiful smile and curly hair. I will never forget all of the great times and memories that I shared with Shelby this past year. She will be deeply missed, but I know that she will watch over her Pi Phi sisters as our true guardian angel.TTF Shelby, I miss you.Love, Cortney"

"Even though I only got to know you for a few months, from the first time I met you, I could tell you were one of the sweetest, most genuine person I would ever get to meet. I couldn't help but have this great big smile and warm feeling every time I got to see you. Your spirit will remain in our minds and hearts forever and I know you're looking down on us right now through this tough time, with that great big beautiful smile of yours, reminding us that everything will be all right.Love you and miss youAngela "

"Mr. and Mrs. Evans & Lizzie,You raised such an amazing woman. Shelby was one of the most talented and successful people I have ever known. I consider myself very lucky to have had her in my life. She was my locker buddy in sixth grade and introduced me to chocolate cream oreos, along with so many other great memories. You will be in my thoughts and prayers forever. Stay strong and God Bless."

"I had a chance to spend some time with Shelby and our daughter Grace Tober at Pi Phi over mother's weekend in February. She was such an impressive girl--self-directed, focused, and friendly. I will remember the unusual confidence that she displayed for her age, her bright shining eyes, and the friendship that she and Grace shared. The entire DePauw community shares in your grief. Our family's thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter."

"Shelby, your infectious personality and kind heart will forever be missed. I am truly lucky to have met you Shelby, you are beautiful inside and out. "

Know that God is holding all of you in his embrace and Shelby is safe in his arms too. Bill and Jennifer Kiesel"

"I would like to send my deepest sympathies during your time of loss.Shelby was truly special to me. She will be missed at DePauw because she gave me more than I would ever expect from any student. That smile and deep commitment to whatever she was doing demonstrated how everyone should endeavor to live their life. "

"Lisa and family,Your loss is indeed the saddest. My thoughts and prayers are with you in mind.Gloria DeLong"

"So very sorry for your loss. I remember the times she visited our home with Alissa. Shelby always impressed me with her strength in knowing who she was and what she stood for. My prayers are with you, Margo"

"Shelby was and will continue to be, for all who knew her, a true role model and inspiration. As an officer of Pi Beta Phi, I had the honor of working with Shelby for the past six months as she served as VP of Member Development. Shelby took her position very seriously and constantly worked to help others and to serve as a positive example. In her regular communications, she was a bright, ambitious and caring soul who conveyed her enthusiasm for academics and college life, and her true concern and love for her fellow students with every correspondence. I am so very sorry for her loss and know how much she is already missed."

"Dear Carl, Lisa and LizzieHenry and I just heard about Shelby and we are absolutely heartbroken. we always loved getting to hear Shelby and Lizzie stories whenever we met on the Merrill Lynch trips and your pride and joy in the girls was always so obvious. Know that we are thinking of you constantly and praying for you all. It always sounded like Shelby had already accomplished so much in her young life, what a joy she was!. We love you both and miss you. Henry and Terri Enno"

"My prayers go out to the Evans family at this time of great sadness. Your daughter will be missed. "

Her quirky sense of humor always left me with a big smile on my face.Shelby, you know how much we all love and miss you. My life was made better because of your presence in it, and I know I'm not alone in feeling that way. I'll be praying for you always. TTF."

"In my work as an officer of Pi Beta Phi, I regularly heard from Shelby and the other officers at DePauw. Shelby truly stood out. I never had the chance to meet her in person, but my fellow alumnae who did universally described her as sweet AND very dedicated to the chapter and campus. I'm very sorry for her loss."

"Carl, Lisa and Lizzie - Words cannot express the heartache we feel and have for your family. Shelby left us way before any of us were ready to say good-bye but she gave us memories to beautiful to forget. Hold tight to your memories for comfort and remember to lean on your friends and family for strength and know God is lovingly carrying your family through this unimaginable time. Each tear we have shed is our love rising up to Shelby in heaven. When we see the rays of sunshine shining through the clouds we will know Shelby is up in heaven smiling that contagious smile down on all of us. I, like Shelby's friend from DePauw, have a divine intervention story about Shelby. I was looking out my kitchen window in total disbelief with pain and sorrow in my heart thinking about Shelby. I said to God as I was looking out my kitchen window at my flowers, if I see a hummingbird today I will know Shelby is happy and safe in heaven. About 7 minutes later I saw a hummingbird, only for a second, in my garden. I knew Shelby was with God and she was happy. I haven't seen the hummingbird since but everytime I do I know it is Shelby coming to let all of us know she is fine. We will miss her so much. She was a remarkable young woman we should all strive to be like. She accomplished more in her short 21 years than most of us do in a lifetime. We love you and are here for you."

"Dear Evans Family,During my two visits to the Pi Phi chapter at DePauw University, I met with Shelby. Although I didn't know her well she had a smile and personality that lit up the room. I know she was a wonderful young lady and well loved by all those around her; I really enjoyed my time with her. My heart and prayers go out to each of you at this time. With my deepest sympathy,Greer Horne"

"Carl, Lisa & Lizzie,We are devestated to hear about Shelby. We have such fond memories of your family from our Dallas Lane days.You are in our thoughts and prayers.Carey & Tom"

"Dear Lisa, Carl, and Lizzie,It is evident by the outporing of love in these messages that Shelby touched many lives with her spirit and her joy of living. I remember her smiling face at Laurie and Mike's leading Kevin around by his nose, always off on a new adventure. She lit up a room, even as a child, and she continued to do so all through her life. Your loss is incomprehensible, but I hope that someday the knowledge of how many lives Shelby enriched will offer you some consolation. Lucy and Ron DallasI"

"When I first met Shelby during mentor training, I was amazed by her positive energy and outlook on life. She was someone who understood how wonderful life could be and I'm confident that in her short time with us, she instilled that worldview on everyone she knew and everyone who knew her. Her impact on this world has been tremendous and she will be missed by all. My deepest condolences to the Evans family and all of her Pi Phi sisters as well. An angel couldn't more perfectly describe Shelby."

"Have not seen you for quite some time, but i will always cherish those memories growing up playing arounf the neighborhood. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless"

"Carl,My family and I were devastated when Danielle called me about Shelby. Although I had never met Shelby, Lisa and Lizzie, I knew they all were very special from what you have said to me about your family. In watching the pictures on the screen at the church, I saw what a wonderful times you had and all of the wonderful and dear pictures of them thru their growing up which will be cherished thru your lives. My heart aches for you and your family and our hearts and prayers with you always. Milt, Lynn, Bron and Brad Cuppy "

"Lisa,Shelby had a gift of making other people feel special with just a smile. Her beauty, warmth and that twinkle in her eye is what made her 'the pretty girl with curly hair'. But it was not what was outside, but the immense beauty inside that could not be contained and radiated out that affected everyone she met.May we all sit outside this summer at night, find the brightest star, and think of Shelby and offer up a pray for your family so that you can understand the reason why God took her so young. No family should feel your pain, but we must believe there is a plan for all of this.May everyone's prayers help you through this horrible time in your lives. "

"Carl, I am so sorry for your unimaginable loss. You will be in my prayers."

"Dear Lisa, Carl, and Lizzie,I am so sorry we were not in town to personally offer our support and love at this time. Rod and I are deeply saddened and shocked by the tragic and sudden loss of your beautiful Shelby. No words can ease your pain but have faith that Shelby is in a good place where her beautiful face and sunny outlook illuminate the heavens. I remember her so well from Mohawk Trails where she outshined everybody - always happy, always smiling, always animated and talking as she'd move throughout the halls and classrooms with those beautiful curls bouncing. She grew into a beautiful young woman reflecting back to all the love of the wonderful family she came from. She was a gift to all who knew her. Our prayers are for Shelby and for the three of you that God may keep all of you in his safekeeping."

"On behalf of the VA Epsilon Chapter of Pi Beta Phi (University of Virginia), we send our thoughts and prayers to Shelby's family and Pi Phi sisters. Reading the other entries on this guestbook make it clear what a special person she was and how much she will be missed.Kim Ayers, President"
