It seems as if Aunt Shirley was always with us. As children we were always at her home spending the night, running through her home,eating good food, and even talking long into the hours of the night. Aunt Shirley made being a ‘kid’ fun because she was a ‘kid’ right with us. We will miss you greatly but looking forward to spending time with you in your new home laughing , playing , talking, for I know your doors will always been open.

We know she is being held by Jesus today.May God Bless each of you and keep you in His loving hands. May He give you peace, comfort, and treasured memories of Shirley. You have been and will remain in our prayers. With Deepest Sympathy we love you, Barbara (Bobbie)and Ted Holcombe
I will never forget my sweet Aunt Shirley! So sorry for the familys loss. I loved her very much and will miss her.
My heartfelt condolences goes out to each of you today and always. From my earliest memories of Shirley when she used to babysit me as child to the countless days growing up with her & Granny living next door, she was always a comforting fixture in my life and will be greatly missed.

Sorry For Your Loss
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a family member. I actually lost three. As a middle school student I think it would be unbearable to think that my two little sisters had been shot. When I lost my first family member I was about 6 and she died of old age. How I got over all my family members death is I prayed and what, also helped me is so did my family. I want all of you to know is that my church and I are praying for you. Just think of it this way, Heaven gained 27 more angels.
