Gardner and I are so sorry to hear of Mrs. Shelton’s passing. She was such an encouraging force during church activities. I got to see, firsthand, her love and devotion for our Lord and for Joseph and Emma. I know they will treasure that love, devotion and stability she provided for the rest of their lives. Our prayers will remain with you in the coming days and beyond, as you learn to navigate through this loss. Please call on us if we can help in any way.
Love, Cissy and Gardner Bridges
