To The Family of Shirley Tarry
Just to let the family know that you are in our prayers. We had the pleasure of singing and churching with Sister Shirley. She was called the "Candy Lady" by our young people. We will miss her presence, but the Lord surely picked a wonderful flower for his garden.Be encouraged.

To Shirley Kids,
My heart goes out to you at this time, you all are like family to me. We have know each other for 40-plus years. Your mom was a mother, big sister and prayer warrior to me. There was nothing we couldn't talk about. I will truly miss her but I am rejoicing for her beacause she is gone were all have to go someday. So don't morn her just be happy for her. She loves the Lord and he loves her to. She was a great mother and love her kids. Sharon you were the best daughter a mother could ask for. You brought alot of joy and happiness to her life. She cherished and loved you to life. You boys have to keep you head up and be the men she wanted you'll to be.
God Bless you all and know that God has her now and keep her close to your hearts,as she will be watching over you.
