Dear Wayne, Lori, & family
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your mom. Knowing her since I myself was young, finding out of her passing impacted my heart. I have moved away to Arkansas so news traveled slowly to me. My love is with you all and I pray God keeps your family safe as she watches over you all
Love

Shirley, Mom, Granny & Great Granny & Great Great Granny loved the Lord with all her heart! She bought books of stories of Jesus distributed as gifts to family and wanted everyone to read and hear the “Word” of the scriptures. She always expressed how she wanted to see everyone once again in Heaven. She is missed and never forgotten. Love always, The Owen Family- Wayne, Darlene, Lisa, Taylor, Austin, Jeff, Kayleigh & Keshawn & all that have met her again in Heaven already. As she would say “What a glorious day that will be”.

I am a healthcare worker and would talk with Ms Shirley on the phone monthly. Even though I never meet her face to face, I could feel her compassion for others. She was such a sweet lady. This really hit me hard today. That I would never talk with her again. I am praying for the family. I am sure that she will be missed.
