Dear sweet Shirley. I am so grateful to have gotten to know and love you and Aubrey. His presence will be missed. You both were role models of a great marriage no matter what age you are and also wonderful Christian leaders. I consider myself lucky to have known and "hung out" with Aubrey. I do believe he is the only man EVER to kiss my hand (his trademark), showing what a true gentleman he was.
