Earl Shelton Obituary
now I'm free. I'm following
the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I
heard Him call. I turned
my back and left it all.
Perhaps my time seemed
all too brief. Don't lengthen it
now with undue grief. Lift up
your heart and share with me.
God wanted me now.
He set me free.
Earl Covey Shelton, 84, husband of Georgia Vaught Shelton, of Salem, Va., was buried in the Vaught Cemetery at Newport on Friday, October 17, 2008. Kendall Funeral Home, Pembroke, Va., handled the arrangements.
