My heart is broken. I am going to miss my dear aunt Shirley. I'm going to miss talking about our favorite country music and movies and of course are Nashville trip and all the fun things we all did as a family. I love you Shirley. Forever and always. As you introduced me to your friends I will always be your nutty niece. Until we meet again. Lora

I love this picture of her. I will always remember that smile. She is finally at peace, it's been a long time coming. I hope her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and family and friends may also find peace in knowing she is no longer in pain.

So many fond and loving memories of Shirley. She was a very special lady that loved to laugh and enjoyed life! We are sure she is dancing in heaven with Patrick Swaze to a Conway Twitty or Elvis song. We will miss you very much! Love, Your brother Melvin and Pam Shearer.
