October 7, 2014 at 2:17 pmI’ll miss your smile, the sound of your voice and how hard you laughed. I will carry memories with me of staying up late talking, laughing or just enjoying each others company. You taught me how to crochet, gave me cooking tips when I needed them. But most of all you loved me for me. I love you auntie. I know you will be our Guardian Angel for eternity. Hugs and kisses from me to you.

October 10, 2014 at 11:35 amShirley is a cousin on my Mom’s side. Nondis, her mother, was my Mom’s sister.
We stayed in their place after our home burned down we were kids. Fond memories of our time together. The rabbit hutch and of course the nearby train tracks. We did not get to see each other as often as we would have liked.
So sorry. My condolences to her family and all who knew Shirley.
