I remember very little of Shirley, but my Mom sure remembers her a lot more and speaks very highly of her. She will surely be missed. Your family is in our thoughts and in our prayers.

I miss you so much Meemaw. I'm glad you no longer suffer but scared I will continue to suffer in your stead. I'm told the pain will heal eventually, but I've yet to see how that's possible. I hope you hear me when I talk to you every day. I just wish you could talk back. Well I guess now that you can't say anything back I can say this... I love YOU more!!! Now there's some motivation to talk to me... I KNOW you hate to lose. :) I love you... XOX Until we see again.
