Bobby & Kay, I’m sorry to hear about your Mom but I know in my heart exactly where she is now. She is in Heaven! She was such a beautiful lady inside and out. And she raised wonderful, caring children. I know that you will miss her but I pray you are comforted knowing that she is in Heaven with other family and friends. Heaven is rejoicing because she is with them now. I know it probably hurts now but as time goes by, it will become a little easier to bear and deal with. Take care and know that you are all in my prayers.
Kay: I’m so sorry to hear and read about the death of your beautiful mother, Shirley. I know that if my mom were able to attend the services, she would be there in a minute, as our mothers loved each other. Unfortunately, I am not able to take off work to attend the funeral service. Please know both mom and I will be there in spirit. God be with you during this most difficult time Kay (and family). I loved your mom too, she was always so gentle, kind and loving to all of us.

My sincere sympathy to the Salmons in the passing of a wonderful Christian lady, Shirley Salmons. I have been good friends with Bob for over 45 years. I officiated the wedding when Bob married my cousin, Ellen, in April 1976. Bob was my Best Man when Bettie Dawn and I married on Dec 31, 1976. Shirley loved the Lord and had a wonderful family. My deepest condolences to the Salmons family in the death of one of God’s saints, Shirley Salmons. David K Boswell
