All:

It is with sad news I report about Shelton Durham (son of Gwendolyn Marshall Durham):

I received a phone call from the assisted living facility where Shelton lives, Crescent Green, in Carrboro today about 4PM. I was advised that Shelton collapsed there and has died. The facility/EMTs performed CPR for 45 minutes to no avail. It appears to have been a heart attack, but not confirmed. I will be going to Carrboro in the morning to make arrangements for Shelton. He had a prepaid plan at Walker's funeral home in Chapel Hill on Franklin Street. I will e-mail you all with more details as soon as they are made. I am anticipating a grave side service for him at Cedar Grove Methodist Church, on Jones Ferry Road in Pittsboro NC later this week. Shelton was 67.

Please feel free to call me if you have any questions. 336-406-1468

Shelton was born and raised in Carrboro, NC on Oak Avenue. He was an avid fan of UNC-Chapel Hill, Ford Mustangs, motorcycles and anything patriotic. He enjoyed being a member of the Mustang Club of America for many years. He loved the beach and just walking along the shore for hours. Shelton was a long time resident of Crescent Green Assisted Living in Carrboro, NC. He was a gentle soul, with the patience of Job, who will be missed by family and many friends. A special thank you to Shelton?s friend and mentor, Steve Lackey. Steve's friendship and guidance gave Shelton strength, confidence and peace of mind. A graveside service will be performed at Cedar Grove United Methodist Church, 2791 Jones Ferry Rd, Pittsboro, NC 27312, on Thursday at 4PM.

Subject: Death of family member

I send this e-mail with a heavy heart to let you know of the passing of one of our most beloved family members.

Janet Young called this morning and informed me that Gwen Durham had died last night (Wednesday). Mandy Adams had informed Janet early this morning. At that time details were not worked out, and now, with many thanks to Mandy for her love and devotion to Gwen and Shelton, the details have been finalized. I just spoke with Janet again and here is what we have: The burial will take place this coming Saturday, March 4th. The body will be at Walkers Funeral Home on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill until Saturday at approximately 1:00 or 1:30 p.m. Then there will be a graveside service only at Cedar Grove Methodist Church at 2;00 p.m. which is on Jones Ferry Road in Carrboro. Janet advises that if anyone is wishing to view the body, they need to do so at the Funeral Home prior to 1:00 or 1:30 when it will be moved to the Church cemetary.

Mandy indicated to Janet that Shelton was doing ok at this time. If I can answer any questions any of you may have, please give me a call; home phone (Private)
