Not sure what to say?

Words cannot express the gratitude that I have for my Grandmother. Thank you for all of the love. You will be missed immensely, Grandma Shelby Jean.

Prayers for the family of Mrs. Shelby. May God give you all comfort and peace as you lay her to rest. Remember all the times you had with her and one day of you are a child of God then you will see her again.
Love, Carrie and Dale Miller
