Aunt Shirley,
You have always been a second Mom to me.
Looking after us when Mom (Thelma) was in the hospital that one Christmas.
And those surprise visits when I could make the trips home to visit.
I am missing you so much. Hoping that you are with Grandpa and Grandma Roberts and all the Family.
Love you always! <3 <3 <3
