Wilene was a wonderful and beautiful person. She always had a smile on her face and something nice to say to everyone. She will be dearly missed. So glad I had the opportunity to work with her these last few years. I know without a doubt she is with our Lord and Savior. Your family is in our prayers.

Our family is so sorry for the loss of your family members. I am Daniel Granbery's mother-in-law. I met Wilene at Daniel's and Amelia's wedding shower a few years ago. She was a very friendly and nice lady.

My wife and I met Mr. & Mrs. Shumake at Albert Pike Camp Ground on Wednesday June 9, 2010. What a wonderful couple. Her smile was contagious. She loved talking about her family. We know she will be greatly missed by all her Family and Friends. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family and pray that God will heal all the pain that comes in a time such as this. May God be with you all. Ken & Karen Rigsby / Lindale, Texas

To all of the Shumake family: I am so deeply saddened by this horrible tragedy. Night and day, all I can see or think of is the pain that is a constant in your hearts right now. No words I can say will bring you half the comfort that comes from Jesus Christ. He is there for you; just call on His name. Please know that this family is in my heart and prayers. I didn't know Mr. Shumake or Nicholas, but I did know Wilene, such a beautiful, kind lady, always ready with a good word and smile. I know she loved her family so much. May you be comforted by God's never-ending love and grace.

Barbara, my heart goes out to you and Tony and the rest of the family. Wilene was the most sweetest person I have ever known. In all the years she worked at NAF Services, she went out her way to help anyone that was in need of help. Every once in a while I would see her in Walmart and she always ask how I am doing. I will miss seeing her. I have been praying that the Lord God grants you and your family the strength to endure the days ahead.
