SHAILYN "SHAY" NIKOLE PRALL

FOREVER 23

Shailyn "Shay" Nikole Prall was a beacon of love and light, a soul who found beauty in the world and amplified it with her presence. Shay wasn’t just a daughter, a friend, or a family member—she was a force of nature, radiating joy and compassion to everyone she met. Her laughter was music, her smile a gift, and her love for butterflies and music reflected the delicate yet vibrant essence of who she was.

Shay had an innate ability to make people feel seen and valued, wrapping them in her warmth and pure heart. Whether through her silliness, her deep connections, or the simple way she lit up a room, Shay brought something extraordinary to this world. Her love for family and friends was boundless, and her legacy is carried in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Her family remembers her with these loving words:

"My beautiful bbygrl, you are so missed and loved. You shined so bright even in your darkest moments. Your smile would light up a room, you had the biggest, purest heart of anyone I've ever known. I miss your beautiful smile, your silly laugh, everything about you. You had such a love for music, butterflies, your family, and friends. The world does not shine as bright without you here. LYBATS, my beautiful Angel, missing you always, loving you forever. I know you're shining bright in Heaven 🦋."

The world feels a little dimmer without Shay’s vibrant spirit, but her light continues to shine through the love she left behind. Shay, you are deeply missed, fiercely loved, and always remembered. Your beauty, strength, and grace will forever be a source of inspiration.
