To the Shelton Family



God was missing an angel, so he called Grandma to fill the vacancy. She was a very special and loving person to everyone she came in contact with. The evidence of the life she lived can be seen in her hardworking and kind children, grandchildren & greatgrandchildren. We will miss the loving hospitality that was shown to me and my family.

May the Lord be with you always during this time.
