I have so many fond memories of Aunt Shirley!! At my wedding shower , Aunt Shirley gave me a set of dishes! To this day, 32 years later I still have them. I think of her when we use them. We also had many laughs on the cruise we took together! The girls remember her dressed as the grapes from the Hanes underwear commercial! We all cracked up laughing when she came into the room. Not to mention the belly-flop contest she entered, or the falling off the banana boat into the ocean on more than one occasion! She was a good, kind-hearted, person. I will miss her so much! I am sure though she is welcomed in Heaven by Uncle Jack and the rest of our clan! I know they are all together.

The loss of a love one is difficult. May the precious memories you have help you cope and bring you peace. 1 Thes. 4:14 can bring you some comfort knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be reassuring. May the God of peace be with you and your family.
