Aunt Shirley was so much personality! She could brighten up a room, bring laughter, and get straight to a point. One of my first memories of her was when my child clogged Grandma Dorice's toilet. I was mortified, but Aunt Shirley marched in with her I got this attitude and fixed the issue. She will be missed but i know her, Uncle Chuck and Grandma Dorice are having the reunion of a lifetime in heaven.g

Shirley was my GOLDEN APPLE! Like a Mom to me! The last time we visited, I could tell she was ready. Life was not fun any more. She earned her wings. Heaven is her home. She is there now.
