Pastor Alan Shelby, my prayers and love go out to you and your entire family. I pray Gods' comforting Spirit rest upon each of you. Just know that your mom is now resting peacefully in her glorified body and comfortably in the arms of our Heavenly Father.

She no longer has to suffer the things of this world. She's received and accepted the ultimate promotion of transitioning from earth to her beautiful mansion not made by man. Pastor Alan Continue to hold on to your faith. May God give you the peace that passes all understanding [Phil 4:7].

As a volunteer at Pleasant Hills Health and Rehab, I had the joy of visiting with Edna every Wednesday. Her laughter was contagious. I loved her and will miss her. God Bless her family.

Edna Jean Shelby was my aunt and I loved her all of my life. We lived on a farm in Arkansas and didn't have much. She was working in the city as a young woman and would send me many of her clothes that she had worn to work. My mom, Edna's sister, would adjust them to fit me. I loved them and was so happy when one of her boxes would arrive. We looked forward to a visit from her and my grandparents. She was wonderful to my mom in her later life as she would come and spend the summer at Mom's place and look after her which gave my mom's usual caretaker a break. They had fun together and loved each other greatly. They will both be in heaven now. They will be reunited again with each other and with other loved ones. God Bless you, Aunt Edna. I love you.
