The Passing of Our Inspirator

We are deeply saddened to share that our founder's beloved mother, Lois Robert, has recently passed after a prolonged health battle she fought with grace, courage, and strength. Her unwavering support throughout the life of our founder, Jennifer Shelton, was a cornerstone of her musical development. As a young girl, Ms. Shelton composed original pieces on the family piano without any formal training. It was her mother who recognized her talent and chose to nurture her passion. By enrolling Ms. Shelton in music studies and programs designed for young composers, Ms. Robert provided the encouragement that helped shape Ms. Shelton's music journey.

But it wasn't just her musical progress, but also her spiritual progress, that Ms. Robert fostered in Ms. Shelton. Her mother faithfully brought young Jennifer to church every Sunday in her youth, ensuring she was raised in the Christian faith. Her mother also lived out Christian ideals, such as patience, integrity, generosity, resilience, hard work, loyalty, hope, and perseverance, in her daily life.

In the early days of Holy Dove Records, it was Ms. Shelton's mother who stood by her side, believing in her vision before others did. This steadfast support was vital, strengthening Ms. Shelton to embark on a mission to inspire others through music.

Lois Robert instilled the values and provided the encouragement that this company started on. Without her, there would not have been a Holy Dove Records. As we honor her memory and the significant role she played in our story, our thoughts and prayers are with Ms. Shelton and her family during this difficult time.
