To The Family (especially Crystal)Truly the loss of Shirley was great and know that I miss her as much as you do. The one thing that I made clear when she was alive was I told her that I loved her and she said the same. She truly treated me like family. So did Greg, Crystal, Bonnie and Kathy. Mitsy and the cat also. Greg you are an "AWESOME" son. You took care of your mother no matter how hard it got. You stayed by her side and know when I say God is going to bless you. Keep in touch.

Greg, Crystal and family. How blessed I was, to be able to care for Shirley the last few weeks. I could tell she was a very strong, loving woman. I know how hard the last few months have been for you all, and I know Shirley is proud of how strong you have been Greg. You did an incredible thing, you are an angel. If you need anything at all dont hesitate to ask. God Bless you all.
