Aunt Shirley, I'll miss so much. You and Uncle Bobby made my childhood memories so special. I remember you giving Rick, John and me the `what for´ when we gave you sass. Your Mac and cheese is still the best I´ve ever had. No one could make it like you! The summers and parties at the lake spent with you, Uncle Bobby, and my cousins were some of the best times of my life. The first time you met Barbara you treated her like she´d always been part of the family. You were the best Aunt a nephew could have. I´m so happy you´re with Uncle Bobby again. I´ll always love and miss you. Kenton xoxoxo
