Shella, my daughter n law and Best Friend. You were a very good Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and sister. Shella had lots of family and friends. She was kind and told you like it was. I enjoyed staying with you and Bobby and Peewee. While Bobby worked, you and I had our girl time together. Cooking, eating, talking about old times, and giving peewee ICE . When grandma comes peewee gets ice ( spoiled ). You were a very sick lady in so many ways. Now
you don’t have no more pain. You are Gods Angel now you are watching over us. You will be missed by All.

Shella, daughter n law and Best Friend. Shella was a great Wife, Mother, Grand mother, Great Grandmother and sister. Shella had lots of family and friends and always told you how things were. You were a very sick young lady with so many medical problems. But now you are one of God’s Angel, keeping a eye on your loved ones. I will miss our time together when Bobby went to work, talking about old times.
