She was an inspiration to all that knew her! Our deepest sympathy during this difficult time.

A lady of faith with such a sweet spirit. Am blessed to have spent time in her home as a young girl and become friends with Brenda. Praying God provides great comfort during this time.

Sister Shipp lived a life that is a true testimony to God. The way she lived everyday, always happy, always smiling, always waiting with a hug. The countless hours she spent with families through the good and bad times in life. The prayers she prayed for everyone and all there situations. She never complained about the time she spent with people. The Shipp's are so selfless. She touched so many people through the years by being such a light and having such a big heart. Words are not enough. The world really lost a special person. They say time heals all wounds but as long as we live we will never forget Sister Shipp or the life she lived for God. Heaven is erupting in jubilation because one of God's children is Home.

Sister Norma Shipp was my Pastor's wife, I feel like she was a second mother to me as I was growing up, she will be remembered and truly missed by me never will I forget her love and support thru prayer for me while attending White Rock

Nana was such a sweet family friend with the sweetest, warmest spirit. So kind, everyone enjoyed her presence so much. She was such a huge part of her family circle and had so much love to give, always. I have always known her to treat me like her own.
I absolutely loved time around her--her humor and playful personality was perfection and though the generation gap, it never hindered the fun and 'sisterly interaction' I was able to share, laughing and joking just as I would with my own sisters.
She was truly such a joy, loved so well and was loved by many.
Praying for 'peace and comfort that surpasses all understanding' over all those who loved her profoundly and now miss her deeply. We have a High Priest who empathizes with our pain, 'collects all of our tears in His bottle and records [and knows] all of our sorrows in His book. It's so hard for me to remember in times that are so sorrowful and confusing that Jesus loves and cares for Nana with a love far greater than any love here on earth for her--- that is an unfathomable amount.
She was truly a gem.
Love you Nana
