5, 1933 - March 2, 2010MISHAWAKA - Dear God, Thank you for the time that you let us have your sweet angel, Shelley Dawson. Now you've called her home. She spent her life helping people and loving people. She will be greatly missed. She was my mother, she was my daughter, she was my sister, she was my best friend. I will love you always Mama. Forever and a day. To my Mother, If I could, I would wish you angel wings and happy things, to fill your life each day. I would wish you the gold of the sun and the diamonds of the snow. I would wish you satin and velvet and silver threads to sew. I would wish you joy. I would wish you love. I would wish you peace. But most of all dear mother, I would wish you Jesus every step of the way. Surviving are her two daughters, Sherry Ann Soul, of Mishawaka, and Pamela Sue Gourley, of Antwerp, Ohio: five grandchildren; Shalana, Wade, Cole, Keith, and Alisha: four great grandchildren; Will Owen, Cai, and Knox: two brothers; Clarence and Leo Landrum, both of Mishawaka: two sisters; Helen White, of Mishawaka, and Artie Sharp, of Waterloo, Alabama.
