Tina & Shawna:

I was so shocked to hear of Shirley's passing. I worked with her at L.C. Kings for so many years and we had so many laughs. I haven't seen her for a while but I know I will really miss her smile. I know you will really miss her but God's taking care of her now. You both are in my prayers. May God help you in your time of grief.
