With Aunt Shirley's passing we lost the last of the Bender Girls. Shirley was the youngest, then Jackie, & Eileen the oldest. Our family has so many good memories with them. Picnics, Birthdays, Pontoon rides on the river, & Penn State football parties. And now we have another day to celebrate, when God took our dear Shirley home to heaven. We will certainly miss her and her sense of humor & wit. She live a long, full, happy life. RIP dear Shirley. We know you are in God's hands and he is taking good care of you. Love, Vickie & Bob
