I know my mother Peggy, missed her family in Illinois. We didn't get to spend much time with Aunt Shirley but I ran into her at a store in Springfield years ago and she was as sweet to me as if we had always been there. I was so sad to hear my mom's sister had passed. Prayers to my cousins.

Shirley always talked about her three boys (David, Kenny, and Michael). Her voice was very soft and kind. She loved with her whole being. Her heart was made of pure gold. She was a proud mother. There was never any negativity in her conversations with me and at the end of her life only hope, grace, and mercy filled the air. And, she once reach out her hand, turned upward, and to show me something on her bed and said, "Look at all my babies." This is what mattered most to Shirley, her legacy of grandchildren and great-children through her beloved sons. Chaplain Linda H. Gessaman
