RIP dear Shirley
Aunt Shirley was a favorite in our family.
I remember that many years she came over to ring in The New Year with us kids. Cow bell, & Mike’s drum set n all!
I think she was babysitting us but it seemed instead like a party. Such wonderful memories.
So much love to Chris & family. ❤️
Missing you mom, every day
What keeps me going, is knowing
that you are reunited with Bob,
Adam and all our friends and
family.
God has made you whole, healthy
& happy again. Until we meet
again, always know how much I
love you.
