Not sure what to say?





My dear Aunt Shirley, you will be greatly missed but more importantly remembered so fondly. I will always remember your excitement to see us (kids) and your laugh, and squeezes. You and uncle Doug always brought such joy with your visits to us in Las Vegas for the holidays. My children will always remember your coming and bringing them the absolute best gifts. I will miss you but know we will meet again in heaven. Sending our love to Uncle Doug as well. Love your family in Tennessee! Tim, Kandi, Noah, Ella and Avry
