Shirley was a person that I met when I was young mother, and I did not know at that time how she would impact both of our lives. She and Barb were second mothers to me and a grandmother to my son, Austin. We adored them both and experienced so much of our lives with them. You could not meet Shirley and not love her; she had a heart of gold, a sassy mouth and a sparkly style. I feel so Blessed to have had her, Barb and her family as part of my family. Love you always Shirley, glad you are back with Barb, that you got to travel with your family, and you did not have to suffer this life on earth. Until we see you again my friend.... Love Staci
