"The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole obligation of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13
My dear Shirley shared this principle with her family, friends and neighbors. She lived it and was a role model for myself and many others. I look forward to seeing her sweet smile again, and we will dance together for eternity.
