Memories of our College years and as newlyweds with James and Shirley. Meeting at Grand Canyon on Memorial Weekends for several years. Stopping by on our way to visit family in GA and spending Sabbath and Saturday night with them March 13,1976 when they received the call that they were parents to a baby boy. Spending a weekend in October 1982 and attending the Ballon Festival. Perhaps the memory of taking the CPA Exam together in Nov 1972 and May of 1972 in the Long Beach Arena. Two out of ten women and 990 men, Way ahead of female equality in the field of Accounting. Gone too soon Shirley. Love you. Prayers to you James and your family. Until we meet again

Dear James and family..my heart, with deepest sympathies, goes out to you and the family. My prayers go out to you for strength and comfort. There are so many memories of Shirley when she was younger at home, but one of the strongest is her wonderful organ playing at our wedding when she was only 15 years old.
God bless you and be with you all..auntie Esther
