Miss Sue and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Shelby's passing. I had the honor of helping to take care of both of you when I worked for Dr. Winston. Seeing you two always brightened my day. All my prayers and love to you and your family at this time.

Dearest Sue and family...... I only recently learned of your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. One thing that should really comfort you is to know that he is with the Lord, and that he loved you with all his heart. You and Shelby were a match made in heaven. When I lost Henry, I lost the love of my life, so I know how you feel, but aren't we glad that we had what we had? Some people never know that kind of love! We are incredibly blessed! Just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you.
Sue and family, I am very sorry to hear of Shelby's passing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you grace to help in this time of need.
