I was so honored to spend time as a family with Our Aunt Shirley this past October. That time meant so much to see her and hear her voice instead of just on Facebook as we had been for quite some time. She showed us her deep love that has always been there for all of us and as she meet our Grandchildren. Our last link is now in Heaven with her Mom and Dad and siblings sharing stories about all of us with love. Bless her loving soul.
