Jeff, Amy, Josh, Jonathon, & all of your loved ones - I will deeply miss Aunt Shirley. Many of my fondest childhood memories are of our 4th of July's spent in Ashville, with her big hugs, kisses, and calling everyone "Sugar". May she always rest in peace. My thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with you all now. Love, Mary M, Jeff, Abby, & Matthew
