Bud, Cindie and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am thankful that I was able to see Shirley last summer at the cousin reunion after so many years. It was such an enjoyable time looking at old pictures and reflecting back on our younger days! We shared many laughs together. It was very heartwarming. You have many fond memories of her to cherish. I will always remember her smile.
Love and Prayers,
