Merl Kenneth Shelton

Great Grandpa, we mss you tons and we know that you are in a better place now. You will never be forgotten. I know that you are up in Heaven looking down on us along with our Great Grandma. We remember when you played the famous washer game at Marissa's birthday party how excited you would get when you scored a point. You were a great Grandpa. Also, for our annual softball game in May 2010 you were our cheerleader. GO RED TEAM!!!!

I still think of that day often. That meant alot to me when you did that. You taught us so many things through the years and I would always tell Ron (Your Dad is always right) because you were. ...

Dad - We were honored to share your life with you. So many wonderful memories from playing checkers and chickenfoot to watching your eyes light up when you danced.
