Shirley Smith-Boyce

Jesus.. I miss you so much.. I have so much to tell you.

My Sweet Sister Shirley. Today made exactly one year since you left. My heart is broken -- I miss you sooo much that it hurts. It is hard to believe that it has been a year. I still ache for you. I will love you always & forever.

I'm still missing you and your funny jokes. We all want to have a good time instead of crying but, it's still okay to cry because sometimes we are hurt.

Love, CJ

We didn't know that evening
that God would take you away.
in life we loved you dearly.
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone.
A part of us went with you, that night God called you home.
You left us so peacefully, we tried hard not to cry.
And though we can not see you, we know you’re by our side.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same.
But when God calls us home one day, our chain will link...

I'm just sitting here thinking about how last year this time, you were here and looking better than ever! You also made your debut as a prayer warrior! I remember you asking me "How did I do?". I was SO proud of you! I remember everything.....I miss you so much. I really do. It's so hard to think about you being gone. I love you so much Auntie Shirley. I always have. I wish to God that we had more time together.

Still hurting....

I have been thinking about you so much. I miss you so much. At times it gets overwhelming. I wish you were here in the flesh I just want to touch you, laugh with you, yell at you, hear you whisper because NeNe is coming. Love You More!

I miss you a lot today. No more than other days though. I talk about you so often that one would think that you were right here. Actually, you are...and you always will be. As close as my heart can be to my body, there you will be also.

~~~I love you!~~~

Shirley, Shirley, Shirley, I thought you would be here to help me with my new grandson. You told how to be a grandmother before it was time. You would say to me "just watch and see how different the love will be". I would say "okay". I'm so sad because you're not here to share this joy with me. He is so wonderful and I love him more everyday. I want to see him more than I want to do anything everyday. You were right Sis. My life is so different. No explanation, just plan old healthy love. I...

I thank my God upon every rememberance of you. (Phil 1:3)

Auntie Shirley, I had a hard morning. I miss you so much. The memories of your voice, your smile, your laughter flooded my mind as soon as I woke up this morning. I wish that I could turn back the hands of time. I thank God for blessing me with such a caring and loving Auntie. You were more than just an aunt to me. You were my friend.

"I will pray for you quietly, think of you often and love you always."
