Dear Uncle and cousins,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this saddened time. Your mom was a precious gem-one that was rare in the treasure chest. She was so kind, giving and always greeted me with open arms and a welcoming heart. I have such wonderful childhood memories. She will always hold a special place in my heart. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

You have been the sweetest aunt on earth - and so much like my Mom. I know she was waiting for you with open arms and that I will be united with both of you someday. Your love was always there, Aunt Shirley, and always expressed.

The legacy of your love shines on in your dear family. My heart goes out to Ronnie, all your children, grandchildren and great-grandchilddren. I wish you comfort and peace - and love.

My Dearest Mommy,
How I prayed that you would be "healed" - but I know now that you truly are! You are in a place where there is only "Love, Peace & Joy". My faith tells me that I will see you again. I can't wait till that glorious day when I get to meet Jesus and be re-united with you Mommy! I will see you again! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS & FOREVER!

Dear Ron and family,
Shirley was my "earthly" angel. If I had to describe Shirley in character, I would say she was Tinkerbell in disguise, with her little wings and a wand in her hand, she would flutter around sprinkling magical dust of love on everyone she came in contact with. That magical dust never leaves your soul. It certainly touched mine. Now when I look up into the heavens and see a flickering star I will know it's Shirley spreading her magical dust of love in God's kingdom.
In my heart forever, Natalie.
