I wish to send my sympathies to the family of Shirley Bentley. Aunt Shirley was a care giver to so many and was instrumental in the care of my sisters and I when we were young. I thank God for her presence in our lives and her love she so freely gave. I thank her for bringing us together with our mother, that we were able to get to know her during her short time here on earth. I pray God wraps His arms around all who knew Aunt Shirley and will miss her here on earth, giving you comfort as you say your final farewells. Celebrate the good she did and the fond memories that remain. Keeping you all in my heart and prayers. Beth Marquette
