Our prayers and love to the entire Burns family. I count myself among the many lucky friends of Jack & Bonnie whom Shirley opened her heart, her table and her welcome smile to over the years. Howard and Shirley were a real life love story. Wishing you be peace in your time of grieving.

So sorry to hear about Shirley. I have some great memories of her from our trips to Jackson as kids. Mary Beth and I always loved visiting with Debbie and Anne and Shirley always made us feel at home. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
