Shirley you will be missed. There were just to many leaks in your earthly body and your spirit had to move to a new one where there is no more pain and suffering. God willing I will see you Aunt Lib and the rest of kin that have gone on to be with The Lord when my journey on this earth is over. You loved your family so much and I know you are watching over us.

I'm at a lost for words. I continue to pray that I am living in a dream, and next Sunday I'm coming over your house for dinner and my Grandmore is sitting at the table. The food, sweet tea, family, and dogs will all be there. Aunt Goddie, I will miss you so much. I know God needs you more. I know your enjoying being with your mother, father, husband, brothers, sisters, and other kinfolk. I love you, and will forever keep you in my heart.
