I am so happy to have had Shirley as a friend and certainly enjoyed many friendly chats with him at WM. When you see Lue and her sisters you see how nice her folks are. I will miss her father very much!

With deepest sympathies for the loss of Pappy while I never had the honor of getting to know him, I was inspired by his smile. May the Lord lift you all up and bless you with instant recall of all the wonderful times spent in his company. Beth and Chuck Geronimo
