Me and Mom are so sorry to hear about Aunt Shirley’s passing. I still remember her bright smile and her beautiful countenance. What a great legacy she leaves to us. I look forward to seeing her again in Glory!
Cindy Hayden says
I was saddened to hear Aunt Shirley had passed while at the same time realizing how happy she was to be united with her Savior and reunited with your Dad.
I always cherished my relationship with her and regret that recent years prevented that. I will never forget how she was there for us during Daddy’s last days.
It was always fun watching her and Momma trying to out talk each other. Momma loved her dearly! I’m sure they are still catching up.
She will be greatly missed by all of us but we will see her again soon!
