To Paula and Paulette. Please share with the rest of your family my thoughts of sympathy. Shirley was such a pleasant person and one who was truly dedicated to her service to Jehovah. Losing a mother is never easy as she is the one that was with us from infancy and who loved us unconditionally. May the sadness of her loss lessen each day as you recall the memories that were made throughout the years. Her hope in waking up in a new system of things kept her close to Jehovah. Again.. I share your loss. Barbara Leonard

To Pammie and your siblings,
I send you my most deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. I can say with heartfelt sincerity that I know exactly how you all are feeling right now. Pam, we can be a comfort to each other. When you need to shed a tear or just talk about your mom, you know I am here because you have been there for me when I needed you. I hope we can continue to be there for each other from here on out. Take care and I send this with much love to all of you.

To the Graves Family,
Words just cannot express Just how I feel about your mother gone to sleep in death. My heart really do ache and feel so lost now that I do not have my dear sister to go out in the ministry with me. But I will always treasure the happy times that we had together and look forward to seeing her smiling face in the resurrection. May Jehovah comfort all of you at this sorrowful time.
