Doug and Darv went to visit Uncle Hank and Aunt Shirley just after Doug retired 15 years ago. They had the best time catching up and Aunt Shirley fed them well! Doug and I stopped to visit when we went to Glacier Park. We had planned to leave on Sunday and Uncle Hank said it wasn't legal to drive on Sunday. We decided to stop on the way back home to enjoy more time. Aunt Shirley made wonderful salads and desserts. I loved visiting with her as she was so interested in all the news on August and Helen's family. God bless you all as you journey through this time.

I am so sorry for your loss. She's really going to be missed. I have never met a more beautiful person in my life. My prayers are going out to all of you. Sandy she always told me how much you were doing for her. She so loved all of you kids,her Grandchildren, and Great grandchildren. But she was very tired and tired of hurting. I truly wish there were more people like her in the world.

Rest in peace Aunt Shirley. You were always so sweet to me when I visited and had the best snacks. I bet uncle Henry was there with open arms so excited to see you again. Sending all the love to the family.

To all of Shirleys family, I'm so sorry for y'alls loss. Shirley was a very special woman and I'm glad for the relationship her and I shared and the conversations we had. She will always hold a special place in my heart. My heart hurts but also feeling blessed to get a hug, kiss on the forehead and a "I love you Teal" the Thursday before she was reunited with her loved ones up above. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
