Shirley, My heart aches when I think of you being gone. You were the most delightful & caring friend with a wicked sense of humor! I love these photos that have been posted of you, I see that special twinkle in your eyes. I am thankful the Lord helped us resolve an unfortunate misunderstanding and we were able to express how much we cared for each other before you left us. You were a once-in-a-lifetime friend. I miss you so much~ Denise
