You have my deepest sympathy; I know how much you cared. But now you must remember all the good times that you shared. I know your hearts are heavy now; we have a hope in the resurrection. John 5:25-29, Rev.21:4

Deacon Lamont & Sister Shannon on behalf of my husband Allen D. Dabney, Sr. & myself (Tara W. Dabney) we would like to extend our hearfelt love for you & Sister Shannon during the loss of your Mother. You both are a lovely couple. I pray that during this time you will allow yourselves to grieve not as a man without hope but that you will be allowed to miss your Mom. Next to the loss of a spouse it is one of the greatest losses you will experience. I pray that during this time that you will allow the Lord & your wife to comfort you. And that through this loss you will be inspired to be the man that I am certain your Mother is proud of & has raised you to be. Know that Allen & I are here for you if you should need us. And though the Word Church may not be quick to admit it.....They love you too (smile)!

I want to express my sympathy at your loss. I got to know Shirley when I worked with activities for a while at Trinity. I would always visit whenever I got the opportunity to stop by. She will be greatly missed by all, especially her Trinity family.
