Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Guy. My condolences to all my family. I am sure Jesus was there waiting on him.

  2. Teresa, Jim, and Family: We were sorry to hear of your loss. May God’s love and mercy sustain you during this time. You are in our prayers.

  3. Dear Guy and family, It was a privilege to have known your Dad. He was one of those WWII heroes Tom Brokaw wrote a book about. A man who belonged to the greatest generation and believed in sacrifice, discipline, responsibility, duty, honor, country. Your Dad lived by the “Golden Rule” and could be described as “Old School”. To describe Guy Shingleton in a word would be: a GENTLEMAN. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Mark and Vicki Stewart

  4. Dear Carol and family, We are not able to come because I am having spinal surgery on Wednesday. Ken will not be able to come either because Kelly is in the hospital in very bad condition. We all send our love and condolences to you all. God will help you to be able to heal from your loss in time and be able to remember with great joy the things about both of your parents. Cherish the memories. Virginia

  5. Dear Teresa & Family, We were saddened to hear of Guy’s passing. Our prayers are with you. In Christian Love, Pennie (Rutter) & Steve Ary

  6. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family on your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Jim & Jackie Brandolino
