Connie & Patty,
It is so difficult to lose the ones we love. Aunt Shirley touched us all in her sweet and gentle way and our family saw first hand what it is to be humble, tender and kind. We each have our special memories of family visits and celebratory gatherings with Aunt Shirley present, as well as special individual times shared with her. These will be cherished and bring smiles and comfort when we reflect on them in days to come. We have been blessed to have her in our lives. My thoughts, prayers and love are there with you.
