Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Aunt Shirley will be dearly missed...I remember all the times you guys used to come down, we'd always plan something to do...fishing ,or just going to the park. I always admired Aunt Shirley..My first bicycle was given to me from her..I loved that bike...I remember always asking Aunt Shirley what size she wore in pants...she said I wear a 5..I was prob....12 yrs old at the time..I said oh I can't wait to be in a size 5....I just loved Aunt Shirleys dinkyness...She will be missed..I pray that You have comfort, Losing a parent is not easy..but know they are in heaven peacful and happy waiting for Our arrvials one day...God bless <3
