My heartfelt condolences on the passing of Shirley. I pray in this time of grief, support and love of those around you will provide comfort needed to find peace.

I'm going to miss you Shirley. I have so many fond memories of you, one of my favorites is my first birthday after I met you, I believe we were at Liberty park and you made me a cake with fireworks on it since my birthday is on the 4th of July, it was quite the cake and I loved it. You always had a house full when the holidays came and everyone was welcome, even my daughter from my second marriage which meant the world to me. I love you and you will always be in my heart. R.I.P. sweet lady.
