You’ll be sorely missed. Prayers going out for you and your family.
Missing one of my longest friends knew her for over 50 years. And also NG the way had a glass of wine or two, went to a casino more than once and really liked being a blonde together. We go back to living as neighbors in Cypresswood. We both had houses with a front balcony.
She had a long good life. Not perfect but good!!!
I am so thankful for each letter and phone call I received from Shirley. Her visit to Missouri meant so much to me.
