To the Caraway Family: Words can not express our sorrow over the recent loss of your Mother Shirley. She was the most kind and generous Lady that I had the privelage to meet. May your loss be comforted by the fact she rests with Jesus and the Angels. And that she walks hand in hand with John through the paradise of Heaven. Thinking always and waiting for the time when they can be reunited with their loved ones. Love, James & Cheryl Barrett & Kids.
