First, I´d like to say I´m very sorry for the loss of your mother and your wife- grandmother -sister sending my love and condolence . I could tell you so many stories about Shirley and me coming up together on downtown Harrisburg she always called me the baby of the street Plum Street she was only a couple years older than me, but it was all in fun. I was a baby on Plum Street at that time in Harrisburg. She was always a loving kind person never changed even when we got older. She was always the same . The main thing we found out that Terron Thomas-Porter was both of our grandson my mother and father and family was so happy to know it was Shirley Dean that was terron other grandmother She was always a sweet loving person and a godly woman. rest in the arms of our father in heaven until we all meet again in eternal life together love you always loved you since I was a little girl.
