Aunt Shirley was instrumental in many of our lives and she will be forever missed by us all. She was a strong woman with a heart of gold. Although, she is no longer here with us her memory and the lessons that she taught will remain with us always. It gives me comfort to know she and her sisters are rejoicing on that heavenly sofa. I love you Aunt Shirley! Always, Crystal

I Dedicate this poem to a very speical person that I love and miss dearly.

Shirley,
I have memories in my pocket they rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces,Parts of a beautiful whole.
They give me confort when I think I am alone.
Yes I have memories in my pocket.
Like so much other stuff I keep there,But of all the treaures I have,it's the memories of you that are the most precious.
By Lamaretta Simmons.

Love you
