Dear Uncle Ed and cousins Dale, Darrell, and Dana. It’s been a lot of years since I’ve seen you all, but I have many good memories of growing up and spending time with all of the family. Aunt Shirley was always so sweet, and funny and it was always a pleasure to spend time with the family. My prayers are for all of you, for a peaceful heart and lasting memories. Aunt Shirley will be greatly missed. God bless you all.

There was never a more loving, carin Christian that I have ever met and loved. She meant the world to her family and friends. She loved being in the nursery at church with all her babies and she was always willing to help anyone anytime. She was such a dear wife, mother, maw maw and friend. She will be missed by me and everyone’s whose life she touch. My little veg and prayers to all the family.

Mrs. Shirley was a wonderful lady who loved everyone she knew especially all the babies she cared for in the church nursery. I will never forget all her love and care for my daughter during her infant years. I will definitely miss her! To Mr. Ed and all the family, I send my condolences during this most difficult time.
