To the Owens/Osborn families: Bernice called me earlier in the week to inform me of my mother's cousin's passing. My condolences to all. I plan on attending the service on Saturday. Although I would see her only occasionally, usually while visiting Bernice, I remember that Shirley was always congenial and caring. I am sure that she will be missed.
