Brock, My thoughts and prayers are with you today, my dear friend, during this difficult time. You have been exceptionally fortunate to share so many wonderful years with Shirley. Please cherish those memories in the days to come, and with your family and the many, many people who have experience her loving personality from your days at Mizzou until now. And I also commend you on always taking such good care of her, especially during the past few years. True LOVE is eternal and that is something that can never be lost in your heart. Stay Strong!!!
