Time does have away of slipping by and get togethers seem to fade away but memories are forever. I would have to say one of my fondest memory is thanksgiving dinner and her and allieta at the table..laughing and joking and she told me..eat all u want...u can diet tomorrow!! Besides...men like meat on the bones anyways! I guess u would of had to of been there to get the humor but those that knew her..im sure are smiling. Shirley brought FUN into any occasion and her sweet laughter will never be forgotten. Hugs to the family. I luv u all.

My condolences to the family. Please find comfort in being reminded that God's word the bible says that there is going to be a resurrection. Acts 24:15 says there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous, and with this hope it is possible for you to see her again. We are give more hope and encouragement at Rev. 21:3,4 that talks about a restored paradise where the human family will have the prospect of enjoying life without end, free of sickness, disease and death as we welcome back our dear loved ones. May these bible verses help you trust in God to sustain you and be your strength, and may all the many wonderful memories that Shirley your loved one provided comfort you during this most difficult time.
