My sweet mama, I miss you so much. I don't believe there is day that goes by that I don't talk to you, think of you, and ache for your presence here with me. I find myself reaching for the phone to call you...then I realize that I can't. However the memories we made together, the hilarious laughter, the trips to eat Mexican food together, and the deep love we shared always cheer me up. Please save me a place right next to you....I'll be there as soon as God says I can.
I love you with all my heart.
Forever,
Sherry

Merry Christmas Grandma,
Not a day goes by, that I don't think about you, so many special memories that I will carry with me forever! Hug Pop, Grandpa, Dad and Jesus for me! Love and miss you always, Christy

I love you and miss you so much, Mama.♥️ please feel my hug to you on your birthday.

Mama,Mama I miss you more every day. I hope you hear me when I or my heart talks to you. I see myself doing things exactly like you did and it warms my heart. Thank you God for giving me Doris Shelley for a mother...best decision ever. I love you Mama.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hardly seems like it has been so many years since you went to be with Jesus.\ Miss you so much, Grandma, and think of you so very often. Love you Always, Christy

Happy Birthday Mama. I miss you so much...more every day. Watching you step into Heaven brought me sadness and happiness at the same time. So many times I reach for the phone to call you, which we did daily, then realize that is not possible any more. I do talk to you in Heaven, but I miss hearing your sweet voice, seeing your beautiful smile and the twinkle in your eyes. Sometimes 6 years feels like forever ago and yesterday at the same time.
I love you with all my heart forever and ever. Save me a seat right next to you and we can hug, laugh at silly things and enjoy every minute again. What a wonderful thought!! Kisses and hugs being sent to you.....

Grandma we so do miss you, Happy Birthday. Love you.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Grandma! Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Miss you, and Love you Very Much!!

Merry Christmas Grandma!
Sure do wish you were here, to celebrate with us, but I know you are happy spending it with Grandpa and Jesus !! Not a day goes by , that we don't think of you- and what a treasure it is to love you and be loved by you.
Missing you and loving you always and forever,
Christy and Tom

Happy Heavenly Birthday Grandma. Just yesterday, Tom and I, were watching videos of you playing the organ. We laughed when we both said we wished we had a video of you laughing , when he said the shadow of his rear end weighed 20 pounds! Lol...that was the hardest either of us had seen you laugh! Miss you so much, wish we were celebrating your birthday with you! Love and miss you so very much!!!!

Good morning, Mama, on your 91st birthday. Oh how I wish you were still here with me. I really miss our giggles, hugs, kisses, shopping, eating out and having fun family parties!! You are loved, remembered and missed by so many. I still receive compliments about your beautiful smile and sweetness from many of your and my friends at both Oakmont and Sterling Oaks. I know we will be together again in Heaven where we can once again giggle, hug, kiss and love each other. I look forward to that time. I love you, Mama.

It's always sad but comforting,
to silently recall...
Your smile and dear familiar face
so loved by one and all.

For the world may keep turning,
and change from day to day;
But precious memories of you...
will never fade away.

And here's hoping that this message;
which carries so much love,
Will somehow find its way to you
in Heaven up above.

It's to let you know, Dear Grandma,
that, although you are at rest....
You'll live forever in the hearts
of those who loved you best.

I Miss You So Much, Grandma Shelley

Can't believe it has been three years. I miss you so much!
I see you in so many things around me everyday.
Whether it is something you cherished- that sits in my home, something I use daily- that you crotched, or the beautiful cardinals that grace my yard everyday. You are loved and missed very much.

Happy Birthday Grandma!! Oh how I wish you were here!! Mom and I will be spending the day and night together, reminiscing and looking through photos, I know you will be there with us in spirit! I miss you so much! 
Love you always and forever, Christy.

Good Morning Mama, and Happy Birthday! You would be 89 years old today. You and I had so much fun together! So many times we would laugh until we lost our breath and the tears would flow! I am so thankful that God gave you and me to each other - He sure did a good thing in that. I thank you for raising me in a Christian home filled with love for one another and for God. I remember when you moved into Oakmont Nursing Home, resentful at first, and then told me how happy you were because you had never had so many friends at the same time ever before! Well, Mama, now that you are in Heaven you are surrounded by even more lovely friends than when you were here. I wish you could tell me what's it like to walk through the garden with them and with Jesus. While I'm hoping for many, many more years for myself here on earth, I look forward to the days ahead when I will walk with you hand-in-hand through that garden. I love you and miss you.

Thinking about you today Grandma Shelly!

Grandma,
1 pm today, 2 years ago, you were lifted to Heaven to be with Jesus. I still see you in so many things during every day. My flower garden, my recipe boxes, the beautiful things that you made, and the all the beautiful Cardinals in my yard. I miss you so, but I know that you are at peace, and that provides me much comfort. I miss your laugh and your smile, but most of all - your love. Love you always, Christy

Mama, I have watched the calendar with a heavy heart these past several weeks, dreading this day - the day of your passing from my arms to Jesus' arms. But the minute I woke up this morning, my heart was not heavy as I had anticipated. I was instead filled with joy and happiness for you on your second anniversary in Heaven. I know you are happy, pain free and at peace. I miss you with all my heart, and always will. I look forward to the day that I can cross over and run once again into your open, loving arms. I love you with all my heart and soul.
Sherry xoxo

Happy Birthday Grandma! Sure do miss you! I know you are celebrating with Jesus, Grandpa, Bonnie,Pop, and many others...but what i wouldn't give to be with you today. Love and miss you very much. Christy

Happy Birthday Mama! 88 today. I miss you so much. We have laughed and partied through many, many birthdays together! I'm so thankful for every one. Have you found all the hundreds of balloons we have sent up to Heaven through the years? Hugs and kisses xoxo
Sherry Jane

Well, mama, somehow I have managed to live a whole year without you. I don't know how, but the calendar says I did it. I miss you with all my heart. Sometimes I feel you brush against my arm and it makes me smile to know that your spirit remains next to me at all times. Just as my heart remains with you in Heaven. Losing you has left such a big hole in my heart and my life. Nothing but you can fill this void....so I wait until my room is ready. I love you. I miss you. I thank God for you.
Sherry Jane

Miss you so much Grandma. I know you are happy now..and for you it will seem a short wait until we see each other again, but for us it will seem a lifetime. Think of you every day, love you every minute, and miss you every second.

We knew Doris for such a short time, only one year, but it was a wonderful friendship. She was such a sweet loving person. When Sherry and DeeDee visited most days, we would sit in the living room with Doris' grand pup, DeeDee in her lap and we enjoyed visiting. A group would form and we would talk and laugh, it was a fun time and now she is so missed. We all miss our time together, it's just not the same without her. But we won't be selfish, she has gone to be with our lord in heaven and is in a much better place. We will enjoy her again in heaven. Bless the family that I know misses her dearly. All our love, Susan Glazener and Jackie

My fondest memories of grandma Shelly were the 15 minute stop in that turned into hours of conversation. I loved her stories and She embraced me as an adopted grandson. She is a special person in my life and will be truly missed.

I am so happy I had the opportunity to meet and be around Doris. She was always smiling and happy to see everyone. I remember how she loved music and butterscotch candies. May God hold her family close during this time of loss. Heaven received another Angel this month! One of these days, there will be a very happy Reunion for all of us!

I thought of you on your birthday, Aunt Doris, and wondered how you were doing. Little did I know that you were doing great!!! Dancing on the clouds, forever young. Miss you and love you!

Doris was such a gracious, loving and giving person who never met a stranger. I know that I am one, among many, who have in their possession a "Doris Shelley" crocheted cross or other treasured object made especially for each of us. Thank You for Ever and Ever!
Love,
David T. Bryant

A very sweet Lady and always very kind to me. May God bless your family

Belated Happy Birthday Momma Doris. Thank you for being a momma to me in those crazy years. Love and will miss hearing about you. Save me a place. Love ya.

Doris, You are a beautiful little lady. We loved you very much and will miss you until we see you again. You beat me up there so save a place at the table. Say Hi to my mom Mary Jane for me. We were blessed to have you for a dear friend!!!  You have not died only moved to a new forever home!!!

Happy birthday grandma, wish you could be here to celebrate with us, but I'm sure those who have gone before you are making your birthday the best one ever. Give grandpa and pop a hug and a kiss from me and tell uncle R I said hi. Miss you grandma. Love you for always.

Rodney

Happy Birthday Mama. I never imagined waking up to an April 26th without you. This is your day. A day we have celebrated together for 67 years. It is different this year, because you are resting in our loving Jesus' arms as I sing Happy Birthday to you. I long to hold you and kiss you just as I did last week. I will get through this, Mama, I just don't know how to do it yet. Please hold me close. I love you so much and I am so thankful that God put the two of us together in this world and even better, that we know we will be in His kingdom together when the time to wait is over and His will be done. I love you, Mama. I promise my love to you forever. Sherry
