Aunt Shirley will be missed by all who knew her. Our deepest sympathy to the rest of the family.
I had the pleasure of meeting Shirley a few years ago. She was a very kind lady that welcomed me into her circle with open arms. She had the sweetest smile that illuminated a room with just her presence. I’m sorry that our friendship had to end so soon! May she now rest in peace in the arms of Our Lord. My deepest sympathy goes to ALL who loved her.
