With A Heavy Heart...


Shelbi Savanna Martin earned her wings today. She is now dancing with the Angels.

Shelbi was diagnosed with a highly malignant tumor just before her 4th birthday, on March 22, 2007. During her diagnoses she underwent emergency surgery to remove some of the tumor. She was in a coma for a week, then after another week underwent another surgery to continue and remove the tumor. A few hours before her first surgery, Shelbi suffered a stroke which damaged much of the back of her brain where her eyesight is controlled, therefore losing her eyesight. A month after her surgeries she began radiation which lasted for 6 weeks. Two months after the radiation began she went through rounds of heavy chemotherapy which made her very sick and weak.

Through all this she has remained a very happy little girl. She has shown strength like no one has ever seen. She has shown so many people what Faith, Hope and Love are really all about.

Flutter those wings Shelbi and fly high sweet one.

Please remember her family in your thoughts and prayers.

God bless you Shelbi...no more pain and suffering. Yours was a short, but very special life here on earth.
