Shirley was a sweetheart in every way. She would do anything for you and was a wonderful aunt to all of her neices and nephews. We loved going to her house and she treated us like gold. We will miss her and I know her children are hurting now and I wish I could give them hugs. Take care and remember all the great things she did and the kindness in her heart. Thinking and praying for you all.
