Guest Book

I was truly sadden to hear of the passing of Ms. Shelby Martin. She has been a Homebound patron for two years and we have enjoyed bringing her DVD's for the two years. I personally enjoyed talking with her about family and friends. Again, will miss talking and sharing a laugh or two with her.

I will always remember that each time I saw her the first thing she would say is 'how you doing Deborah' she was always thinking of others. My prayers for her family and friends.
