To Shirlan´s children and grandchildren. I just read the obituary of your Mother and Grandmother. I know she has been sick awhile but she is no longer in pain. She is rejoicing in Heaven with her loved ones and Father.
I remember Shirlan at the ball park, at our 4-H meetings, and at school when she started teaching. I have so many fond memories of her and your family.
My prayers are with you all during this time of loss and rejoicing of her. May God give you the strength you need during this difficult time. I know He will meet all of your needs.
Prayers and love sent your way.
