Bishop Shelton & Family,
Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers as you grieve the loss of a Wonderful, Benevolent, & Caring Lady, who is your Mother,
Great Grandmother, Aunt, or Sister in the loving arms of Jesus.
Also, as a very special memory and an employee, when I would answer the phone, Mrs. Theresa, would say, “ May I please speak to
Fr. Shelton.”
One day, I stated, “Mrs. Theresa, you have been married for such a long time and she said, “You have to overlook one another’s differences.”
Anyway, may God bestow on each one you grace and blessings to endure.
Kind regards,
Kendra Wilson Vallet
