    Family of Aunt Shirley:

    I’m so sorry to hear of Aunt Shirley’s passing. I have fond memories of my many visits with her and Uncle Homer. She was a lot of fun and we joked a lot over the years. You all are in my prayers and thoughts.

    Love, Judy

    Penny Ann & family –
    I was so sad to hear about Aunt Shirley. She was always one of my very favorite people and I hate that I couldn’t get down there to pay my respects. She really helped me years ago when Mama first started being affected by dementia and never minded talking to me. She was always one of the few relatives I made a point to go visit way back when I got my driver’s license. I always felt better, somehow, just talking to her.

    You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
    Love,
    Leanne Nichols Upchurch Rizzo
