Robert,
As we spoke briefly yesterday on what a great lady Shelby was. I didn't get to see much of her recently but will always remember her as part of the crazy and great neighborhood we grew up in. I know your loss is very deep at this time - may your memories of her keep your faith strong until you meet again. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
We'll miss you Shelby Jean...
