I'm so so sorry, Dawn. Sharing your experiences with your mom was always so sweet to read... You were both lucky to have each other. Hugs to you and your family

Shirley´s daughter Dawn is a friend of mine. I followed her journey with her mom since it began. Shirley was very lucky to have Dawn. It was a beautiful journey with many beautiful photos and memories with Shirley. What a wonderful time together that no one can take away. Rip Shirley Wallace, you were loved!
