Love you Grandma! I’m extremely blessed that you were here to meet Landry and Brielle. I can only imagine the joy and rejoicing there was being able to see my mom and Aunt Lynette.

Shayne, it's so hard to believe you're gone from this life. There are so many memories of us growing up from Bible School to the swing set Grandpa built, to walking to Saturday matinees followed by a Malt Shop burger, playing at the front yard picnic table, picking cherries from our tree, etc. But one of the most vivid was when we had measles when we were in 1st and 2nd grade, or maybe 2nd and 3rd grade. Anyway, we couldn't go to the Dept Store to see Santa Claus. No worries though, we were so excited to see Santa land in a helicopter in our front yard. Wow!
I met your future husband a few short years later when I was 12 and he was a Missionary assigned to Farmington, MO. He hadn't met you yet,
but did a couple of years later when he returned after his mission and you were visiting Dad. You were the prettiest girl within several country miles and he was smitten, as were you with him. Through ups and downs, heartaches and joys, good times and bad, it lasted 60 years, 80% of your life.
Shayne, I love you. You will be sorely missed. Love, your sister, Charlotte. RIP in your heavenly home free from pain. Condolences to Frank, Frank !!!, and the rest of your family.

Shayne was a great person who shared a room with my mom at Monument they loved to talk and gossip about their kids, grandchildren. Loved playing Bingo and laughing with each other. She was a great person to be around. Are thoughts and prayers are with all of your family. Jeff, Mary Lamb. Ann Dale roommate
