To Shirley’s Family,
My brother, Craig loved to stay with Shirley and Uncle Tom while he was stationed in California during his time in the Marine Corps.
Years and years later Shirley came back into our family and she was still the sweet and classy lady that I remembered.
May you find peace and comfort in the memories of your mom.
She was always very kind.
