I'm so so sorry for what has happened to Shirley. Victoria and I always enjoyed visiting with her whenever we were together. We will miss her tremondously. May you find comfort within each other during this time of need.
We thought of you today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought of you yesterday,
And will tomorrow too.
We think of you in silence,
And mkae no outward show.
For what it meant to lose you,
Only those who love you know.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday.
It's the heartache of losing you,
That will never go away.
I'm here for each one of you. If there is anything I can do, let me know. I love all of you!
