Ronnie, Tyrone, Dimples and Punkin you have my deepest sympathy. Many years have passed since I moved away and last saw Shirley. Yet, I hold dear to my heart some of the fondest of memories we shared together. She was a true friend and was always happy and kept everyone laughing. I'm sure she will be truly missed. Although I am Eric and Kris mom; she was like a sister to me. I pray the family stay strong and support one another during these rough times. God bless you all.
