Ok so that went a bit long but that's how special Shirley was to me. Karla still is one of my very bestest friend. Hugs my friend.
. Your mother was a wonderful Blessing for you and Dewey! I always enjoyed seeing and visiting with her. She always made you feel special! The end of her life was not kind to her but I know she has a very special place in Heaven. She’s watching us and telling God to take special care of us. Love and Peace!ðŸ™ðŸ»ðŸ«¶ðŸ¥°
