Aunt Shirley,
We are going to miss you so, so much - you're smile and love for us will remain in our hearts forever. If we could only turn back the clock, and have a moment to say goodbye - it's so hard to understand, but I know God has his reasons, and when it's time we will all be together again - until then, we'll cherish the memories you have given us all.
I Love You Aunt Shirley, Jackie
