STEPHEN AARON JAMES SHELBY
September 16, 1978 - May 12, 2007

We little knew that morning
God was going to call your name
In life we loved your dearly
In death we do the same
It broke our hearts to lose you
You did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
You left us peaceful memories
Your love is still our guide
And although we cannot see you
You are always at our side
Our family chain is broken
And nothing will be the same
But when God calls us one by one
The chain will link again

Stephen is survived by his parents Jim and Bev; sisters Kerry, Lori and Jamie; nieces Shelby and Krystin; nephew Tyler; as well as loving aunts, uncles, cousins and many dear friends.

You will always be remembered We love you and miss you dearly

We wish to express our sincerest thanks to all family and friends who offered their support and comfort during this most difficult time. Our gratitude to the management and staff at the Drumheller Inn for their special kindness.
