Mike and I were in our senior year at McKay high school. Often we would stop at his house after school and Mike's mom would always ask how our day was, and if we were hungry. I always thought she was such a cool mom. She was always nice to me because I think she thought I was a good influence on Mike. Little did she know...

I will always remember Shirley´s laughter, she was a very kind sweet lady. My mom reminded me of a time at the Galley Ho my grandma fell out out her chair after having a few too many drinks. The next time my grandparents came in Shirley had made a seat belt for grandmas chair. She had a great sense of humor.

She was a fantastic grandma and the girls have an unbreakable, eternal, bond with their Candy Grandma. :-)

I am so thankful to have had Shirley in my life since I was 17. She loved me from beginning to end and always called me her daughter. She was my second Mom and my first call made on many life circumstances. She was always there for me and I loved her very much.

A few things that make me think of Shirley, aka my Candy Grandma. . .
- the oregon coast
- Liz Claiborne
- Corvette´s
- the three little pigs story
- platform flip flops
- Stouffers mac n´ cheese
My grandma never hesitated to take an opportunity to express her love to my sister and I, whether verbally or through her actions.
As a small child, I looked up to her with awe. She was loud in the warmest way possible, it only makes sense that her middle name was Joy - for her joy was contagious as she boldly and beautifully expressed herself.
She was "Candy Grandma" for many reasons, most of which I didn´t recognize until we grew older -
not only did she had a drawer full of candy on stand-by for us at all times, and not only did she shower us with anything a kid could want (some might say spoil lol). . . she naturally had such a sweet and nurturing nature. She showered us in literally all 5 of the love languages, and she truly made childhood feel a little extra magical in ways that I can´t even begin to explain. She went above and beyond to make my sister and I happy. The memories that I have with her, from my first memories with her to my last days with her on hospice, will be held closely with in my heart for the rest of my days and beyond.
I remember her telling me and Dani when we were little that when we go to heaven we will not recognize each other by our physical appearances - but our souls will recognize each other. It´s hard to grasp that we´ve actually reached the time where she is on the other side waiting for us, a day that I always dreaded and somewhat denied as being a real possibility -
but here we are, and there she went...
until we meet again candy grandma <3
