A hundred years ago in school, there was this sweet little girl named Shirley. When I read of this unfinished life, it stings my eyes to think how often we take moments & days & years for granted. Prayers for all good memories & heartfelt condolences.

May you rest in peace finally in the arms of our Dear Lord and shower him with the love and grace you showered amongst your friends and family here on Earth. Our condolences to the family and friends

Please stay safe in the arms of all the family who are with you now. I'm sorry I can't be there in person when they lay you to rest. I will be there in spirit. My condolences go out to Shonna, Rick and the grandbabies. So sorry for your loss.

Mama- Your life here on earth was cut too short. Others needed you more than we did. I feel selfish wanting you here with us but I know the Lord called you home, he had better plans for you. I already miss you so much. I cannot express how much I do. There is a part of me missing now that I will never be able to fill. I know you are in no more pain. I hope you know how grateful I am to have you as my mother. You made me who I am today. I will always share the memories of you and you will be forever in my heart. The boys love and miss you too but I will remind them everyday how much Nana loves them! I will see you once again! Give grandma and grandpa a kiss. It's not goodbye, it's see you later! You are now our angel who will be there to guide and look over us! I love you so much and so proud to call you my mom and best friend. Love you always, Your Pooh Bear.
