SANDNESS, Shirley Mae
07-29-1935 - 11-12-2012
After a graceful and courageous 14-year fight with cancer, Shirley passed early Monday morning due to recent insurmountable setbacks. Her suffering is over, but her legacy lives on for those who knew her, an inspiration for a faithful, kind, gentle life of sharing love and joy with family and friends. Shirley is survived by her husband Earl of 45 years, children Michael, Karen, Earl (Jennifer), seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 2:00pm at Centerpoint Community Church, 515 Sunrise Blvd., Roseville, CA. Refreshments will follow at the church. Please feel welcome to attend.

I still miss my talks with my mom, we could talk for hours. She was a loving mom, smart, and was always there. Today is a hard day. I miss & love you mom, but know your soul is at peace and that's all that matters to me. xxoo
