Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. It so hard to add to the time line. There was so many memories and I don’t remember dates. You was always the best grandmother. I will never forget. You always had ice cream cones for us. You was always so nice to us. I remember you calling me knot head cause I just kept hitting my big head on stuff.

  2. Very very sorry for your loss j. Didn’t know it was on my birthday, that’s terrible. I’m here if ya need to talk big fella! Keep ya head up.

  3. We’ll miss you so much at book club and our monthly lunch gatherings, Shelby. You had so much history to share and I’ll always remember our chats when I dropped you off at your apartment if I was your book club “Uber” that day. Rest easy, Shelby dear.

  4. I will miss your smile and the way you would say my name when you were so proud of me, most of all. My mamma was the most beautiful lady I have ever known. She was always so careful with the words she chose to speak with, always had grace. I wish she could’ve stayed forever but it’s God’s wish to have her back home where He needs her. I will always love you Mamma.

  5. Shelby, we will miss your beautiful smile and all your stories at Book Club. Rest easy, friend.
