Dear Friends,
I know that, when I last talked with Emily, you were all anticipating this sad day, but I also know that, when it happens, there is still much sadness. I shall miss seeing Shirley and all of you up at the Laurels when I visit my mom. Shirley knew how lucky she was to have such a wonderful family. I admire how you were always there for her.
Thank you for your love and concern for me, my father, and my mother. God bless you all with strength and faith during this difficult time, and may He bless Shirley and keep her in his kingdom of eternal happiness.
With deepest sympathy,
Leslie Bradshaw (Ricky and John White’s daughter)
