My maiden name was Alice Shealy. Cynthia and I went to school together starting right there in that little community Mollohon School next to the park. I am so sorry to hear about your lost and know that she is spending time with our Lord.

These days will be difficult but, know everyone is praying for you near and far. I have lots of happy memories being in your home when we where in high school. I have been blessed to know you and your Mom. I learned a great deal about myself for the better. She would want nothing but, happiness for you and the entire family. Life will never be the same but, being with Jesus is worth it all. Just know she is in heaven and that is where we all want to be when he calls us home. I love you.
