Aunt Shirley was such a kind soul. She always had the most beautiful flowers growing in her yard.
She sure had a green thumb! Now she is in heaven where the flowers are always in bloom and
their fragrance never fades.

I have many memories of Aunt Shirley. She always had such a sweet , loving smile and her eyes would light up with joy to welcome us! She always had a “bless your heart” to say, food on the stove, a house full of kids and activities. Flowers and cats :). I know our Heavenly Father has His arms around her !!!!
