I wrote a message, in here, when I first found out you were gone, but for some reason it didn't get posted! :o{

I was so shocked and deeply saddened to learn of your Passing!  I still can't believe that you're really gone!  I miss seeing your Posts, on FB!  I'm so glad you and I met, on that one Website and became such good Friends...You were a part of my Life, for almost 8 years and for that I'll be forever grateful!

I'll miss you, with all of my Heart...I don't like the word "Goodbye", so instead I'll just say, "Good Night, sweet Shayla, may you Rest Peacefully, until we meet, again!  I love you"! <3

My shaybug.  Damn I thought by now I would know what to say. But still no words comfort me. The sound of your voice brings me tears cause I know I will never hear you practicing for hours to get it perfect for you when the first time was perfect for me. I am so glad we had those 14 months together. 
Your light did shine bright little one. When I think of you I look into the night sky and look for the special Starr that is twinkling the most. I think that is your spirit.  
You were not blessed with much on earth but you worked it. I just wish you could know what your loss has meant to so many   My heart aches for you my cousin my sister but more than that my friend  I still have no words to give my grief  expression to say I will miss is is to trite. To say I will see you later I do not believe. You are gone from my world and it is a big hole where you used to be in my heart.

Shayla, I will miss seeing your beautiful face, and seeing your perfect soul.  Rest well my dear friend.

i love you and miss you,my dear friend.we should have had more time together. see you on the other side.shine, girl, shine!

Rest in peace my sweet friend! I'm going to miss you lots xxx

My Dearest Shayla,
 I still can't believe you're gone.Not sure if it's sunk in yet.
 Shine on you crazy diamond!

My Dearest Shayla I will miss you always. Thank you for helping through the worst time of my life and helping to rebuild my heart. I do find peace in knowing you are no longer sick nor in pain. I am sure my Christopher was there to meet you and help you on journey. Until we meet again in my heart you will remain. I love you friend.

My dear friend and Snakey's much loved Auntie Shayla...We love you...

My dear, beautiful friend...Thank You...for being....you....a wonderful, loving soul....Thank You for always thinking of me...and understanding the love and value of our "xanax" kitties Molly and Snakey....We love you....Our beautiful angel....

Sweet Shayla,
I will miss you. You were nothing but heart, you beautiful girl. Rest peacefully, my friend. I will never forget you.

You will be forever missed my dearest friend, but you will live on in all our hearts. Love Always

shayla has always been special & one of a kind you will be greatly missed

My prayers are with you Linda, and your family. She was such a vibrant person. I'm so sorry for you.

I will always remember you...I'll never forget all of our memories from this last year..

You were amazing in life! Sing like a bird up there in heaven. I hope your dad met you at the gate! Rip Shayla Starr!

Dearest Shayla, I still remember us quickly becoming friends in first grade. And have stayed friends through out adulthood. I still can't believe you're gone, the woman with the unstoppable shine. Never forgotten...Love you always my friend

May this perpetual light burn as a lasting memory of a light in my memory and that of many others.

Shayla . . . it always seems a loved one passes away before I'm able to share with them how much I admire them or how much they mean to me.  In your case I knew you purely online.  I never met you but had conversations with you, especially through the social network 'facebook'.  You were vibrant, full of energy, bold, fearless in your speech and intentions, but with real empathy toward others including your children and your cat, and sensitive yourself.  I dreamed of meeting you someday, and now that will have to wait until it's my turn to depart this life.  I am sorry I didn't use the opportunity to text you a message now and then or chat on the phone because I felt you would be with us for years to come, and now I regret that.  Believing that you are indeed in the presence of "The King", may I ask you to reserve a seat nearby for me or at least to make time for an opportunity to visit in person?  You've been a blessing to so many, and I pray that our loving God will reward you for your efforts and your loving heart.  It may be hard to believe I miss someone so much that I haven't even met, but that's the impression you've made upon me.  May God have mercy upon you and bring you into the light of His presence!

I am at a loss as to what to say.  I am still in the disbelief stage.  I am here for you Linda, always.  May God grant you peace and comfort.  Love you

No words. Not understanding this.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

i cannot begin to say how sorry i am for your loss...have thought of you alot here lately.contact me....mgriffin904@gmail.com                   Marilyn Eagleson Griffin

Thinking of you at this time Linda. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Becky Tichenor

She shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary her, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember her.

What a beautiful soul. We will miss you Shayla. We will never forget your shine.

My gorgeous darling daughter Shayla Starr, You are missed both here at home and many others. Your FaceBook friends are turning to me for guidance. Your Cousin Rhonda has gone above and beyond helping. Many others, such as Sweet Sue and Shelly have been invaluable helping all of us without you. How can I go on? At least you are in Jesus' and God's loving arms now. I couldn't have wished for a better daughter. I LOVE YOU DEEPLY and Madly. Will see you when my time comes.You always said I was a great mother and I will hold that in my heart forever. Deepest love, rest well, my darling Shayla.
