Kathryn Nutt Shamburger

Marsha, Bill and Jim, My heart goes out to you on the loss of your sweet Mother. I remember family times together when we were all young in Corsicana. Mother passed away in 2004. She always had fond memories of the times your Mom and Ellen Ellett would drive to Athens for lunch with her and "old" friends from FBC Corsicana to celebrate birthdays. God bless you and your familes.

Kathryn was one of the most precious ladies I've known. After the loss of her husband she refused to feel sorry for herself and had as her mission to especially help other widows. I'm sorry to have missed the service, I was still out of town. My love and prayers to her family.

Sweet and funny Kathryn brought so much joy to my family as she ministered to our mother after our father's death. Your father had also recently passed away and our mothers were able to renew their Baylor friendship and walk through those difficult days together. Kathryn was indeed an angel! My mother is grieving the loss of her sweet friend and so sorry she wasn't able to be there with you.

Dear Shamburger Family,
My thoughts are with you during this time. Your mother was a wonderful example of a Christian mother, wife and citizen. I will forever miss her smile and positive attitude. She and your father always made me feel special and important. They have truly enlarged the Kingdom of God with their faithfulness.
Andy Lynn & Family

Cheryl, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It was a good thing, growing up at FBC with Dr. & Mrs. Shamburger, who always made even those of us with the least feel accepted and cared about. I will always miss them.

Maxey and I are so sorry we could not attend Kathryn's funeral. We are in Georgia. We will miss her smiling face and wonderful sense of humor. She always made everyone feel welcomed and included. Our love and prayers are with all of you.

Love,
Maxey and Carole Jean Abernathy

Dear Preacher, Cheryl & Family,

Just wanted you to know how much we love you and that we are thinking of you.

Our deepest sympathies.

Devlin, Suzan, Bailey & Lia Bullock

Marsha,
Just to let you know I'm thinking of you. Your Mother and Father were very special people to me as a child and to the people of First Baptist Church of Corsicana. Losing one's Mother is always hard, regardless of the circumstances. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the family,
Mrs. Shamburger was the very essence of the woman in Proverbs 31. Dr. and Katherine Shamburger has helped many a young minister get thier start in the ministry. As one of those pastors, I am in gratitude for the time they spent with me. In the 80's I had the privilege of going with them to Canada for a mission trip, where they taught me a lot about doing God's work through missions. To much regret, Barbara and I will not be able to attend the services for Mrs. Shamburger as we are serving on the mission field this week with our church in Zapata, Tx. You will be in our prayer and in our thoughts this week. For now we can take comfort in the thought that she is in the presence of the Lord and Dr. Shamburger.

To the Shamburger Family, As a member of the FBC selection committee that called Bill and Kathryn to Tyler we have lost two outstanding Christians and citizens. They were everything we hoped for at the church and in Tyler. They were both good friends and I will miss them. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

To all of you--we are so sorry about the loss of your mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother. I will always remember Mrs. Shamburger as one who was always interested in what you had to say...she was a very good listener! She was also very talented and smart lady! And, she loved her family but especially her grandchildren. She has given all of you lots of memories and fun stories that will bless your lives. God bless all of you.

Marsha,Bill and Jim,
The sweet memories of your Mom will stay with me always. I remember all the joy that she brought to others and especially the laughter that she and my mother shared on so many occasions. Their friendship is now reunited.

Dear Bro Jim & Cheryl,

We were all so sorry to hear about your mother's death, but know she's happy now. What comfort we have knowing our loved ones are with the Lord. Wish we could be there, but we are praying for you. God bless you & your family.

Brother Jim, Cheryl, & family:
We are praying for you all that God would grant you peace and great memories of your mom and grandmother.

Dear Bro. Jim and Cheryl:
Kenneth and I are thinking of you and praying for you during this time of sadness. She is in so much better place and having a wonderful time seeing her Bill again. It was wonderful to hear that you were selebrating her life. Kathryn and Bill have definitely left a beautiful legacy with the lives that are being lived by their children and their grandchildren. Just know that we are thinking about you and loving you from here. My God keep you safe as you travel home. We can't wait to have you home. We love you all.
Our love and sympathy,
Kenneth and Kelley Kann

Marsha, Billy and Jimmy,
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Bill & Family,

Barb and I want you to know what a joy we had knowing both your Mother and Dad all these years. They were truly an encouragement to all and we cherish all the good times we shared with them at the Baylor Homecoming Games.

You are in our prayers. There will be rejoicing in heaven with Kathryn & William being reunited.

Bill, Lee and family,

Elisa and I were saddened by news of the loss of your mother. However, we are comforted by the faith which is strongly evident in your family. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Pastor Shamburger and Mrs. Cheryl,
We are so sad to hear about your Mom. Our Sunday School lesson today was about Mercy and Grace, we are so glad God showed His mercy for your Mom. We covered you with our prayers, now knowing God's amazing grace is sufficient.

Dearest Bro. Jim, Cheryl, and Pastor Family,
Our hearts are saddened for your loss, we are so grateful for your Mother's life and the wonderful Godly testimony she lived out for her family, and many friends. We celebrate a life well lived and loved. You are in our prayers. Know you are loved. You have always been there for all of your flock. Our hearts are with you now. First Baptist Church, Victoria, Texas, Church Family

I became a friend of Kathryn's when she lived at Towne Oaks and where I worked. She brought me much joy and great laughter. Farewell my Sweet Friend.

Jim, Cheryl and Family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We know you will find comfort that your mom is reunited with your dad and our loving Savior,
