My deepest sympathy for Shirley's family. She and my mom remained close until my mom's passing. Mom always told us how Shirley was doing with her fight against cancer. What strength! I laugh about it now, but as a kid, I remember coming into the house where my mom and Shirley would be talking. I would come in an complain about some boo boo or other slight against my person. Shirley would always tell me, "you'll live." Not what a five year old wants to hear but on reflection, pretty good...

Our Heartfelt Christian Sympathies in the Loss of Your Mother, Grandmother & Great Grandmother.
Thanking God Shirley Mae is in Heaven made knew.❤

So sorry for your loss prayers for you and your family
