Sorry for your loss Matthew 5:28,29 offers hope for those who have died

Jomo,
The best testament to a loving mother is a loving daughter. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love and warmest regards,
Jim and Linda Bowers

When I think Of Shirley I think of her smile and that sparkle in her eyes. She was so proud and supportive of her family even when she didn't quite " get " what they were doing...like that umpteenth Cher concert !! She would just say " Oh, Joanna "...and move on, knowing full well that everything would be just fine. What a treat to have known her. I will keep memories of those times with me always. Know that you are in my thoughts..LoveyouSeeyouMissyouBye...........

JoMo your mother was a warm and loving woman. In the short time I knew her she always had a smile and was ready to laugh. She fought a good fight and now she can rest. She will be missed but remembered always.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

As I recall, Shirley was deathly afraid of frogs but little else could make her blink. She loved people, her daughters most of all. When I met her back in the 80's, I had this wild hippy-hair and she didn't know what to make of me. I'm grateful for Shirleys' genuine kindness and for hair conditioner because without both I might have missed finding out how wonderful she really was. I think the world of Shirley Samples and I'm grateful that my friends were blessed with such an incredible mom.

Hey Jomo we're so sorry to hear about your Mom. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Al and Marina

To all the people touched by our Mom, our hearts ache for you too. The bond between a parent and child is one of the greatest and your support during this difficult time has eased the grief. Looking forward to the party on Wednesday. Much Love, JoMo & Nene
