Dear Patty, Susan, Harry and family,
So very sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved Mother. Shirley treated our children like her own. She was precious to us and loved dearly by our children. May the Good and Gracious Lord welcome her home. There will be great joy with her reunion of her mother, father and Big Harry. My deepest condolences on your loss. Love to all, Gail L. Cotterman

Shirley, Rest in Peace my Dear and Oldest Friend, I mean we have know each other a long time, since babies. I remember loving you're curly hair and wanted my Mom to make my hair like yours. You use to love to walk my brother, Bobbie, and hold his chubby hand. Shirley, Bunny and I were so close in our early years. I am having hard time finding my feelings, no more long, long, phone calls is bringing a little tear. I love you, wait for me at the bridge when i am 113. Love to your precious family you loved so much.
