Goodbye, Shirley. All the fun times at school and at Scotties. I sure miss those days. You, Pam, Wanda C and I were always laughing. Someone wrote that Shirley was a daredevil, well that is right. Would try anything!! I thought of her many times.

Shirley, Pam, Joyce, and I were like sisters growing up. O, the slumber parties we had in the upstairs of the house at the bottom of booger hill, and the one on Buck Lodge Road. I cannot rememter a cross word between either of us. Shirley was the dare devil and would try anything first! And NObody could talk faster! Grown-ups were always telling her to slow down so they could understand her. The world will be a much quieter place now, and a hole left because of that. She was one of the most generous people I have ever known and it didn't matter what you needed, whether it was emotional or material, she did her best to help all she could. There is a hole in my heart, so I know there are many more tonight. God bless her brother and sisters, children and grands, and every soul that was lucky ennough to know Shirley.I know she will rest in peace at last.
