Joseph Shellman/ Grandson to all my family members

There will come a day when the tears of sorrow will softly flow into tears of remembrance...and your heart will begin healing itself...and grieving will be interrupted by episodes of joy...and you will hear the whisper of hope. There will come a day when you will welcome the tears of remembrance...as a sun shower of the soul...a turning of the tide...a promise of peace. There will come a day when you will...risk loving...go on believing...and treasure the tears of remembrance. All those sleeping in their graves will wake up and sing for joy. As the sparkling dew refreshes the earth, so the Lord will revive those who have long been dead."-Isa. 26:19.

As one of Grandma Rosie's many grand/great grand children, we as a entire family are so humbly blessed and thankful to have witnessed the true power of “God's Devine Favor" and his love for his children thru the life our Grandma. Her longevity of 109 years can only be given by a loving God who is showing who is still in control and who owns the heaven and the earth.…. We are additionally grateful to a God that has allowed us to receive an eternity of memories of a Grandma that walked the walk of a Christian Women … who unconditionally showed strength, gave love, and lots of guidance not only to her family but to any and every person she met….

Honored to be her grandchildren with Love Frank Jr, Ida and Jaudon Robinson – Kalamazoo, MI 49006
