I have known Shell McCraw since we started first grade at Fountain Elementary School. We went through 12 years of school together and then added 4 years at Winthrop. She was a wonderful person and a special friend. I will miss her. My sympathy to all her family whom she loved dearly.
She was such a good lady.
Many times during my illness she came to my house with delicious food prepared for us.
I will never forget her kindness.
Prayers for your family. RIP Mrs McGraw.
Our prayers & sincere sympathy to the McCraw family. We are so sorry for your loss.

I had no idea until today.
We are blessed to have the Lord in our lives to help us thru
such emotional situations. The Lord has plan for each one of us.

A PRETTY GOOD JOB WITH FAMILY”.

Condolences to Shell’s family. She is such loss to so many who loved her. She’ll was a wonderful lady and faithful friend to my aunt, Sara Givens Vaughn. She showed so many kindnesses to her, especially during the last years of her life. A visit from Shell always brightened her day and made her smile. I am so thankful for that.
