I am so sad to hear that you lost your mom. She was always such a kind lady and i know my mom thought the world of her. I remember when i was young and we did not have a dog. You guys had Penny and I would spend a lot of time at your fence petting Penny. Your mom was so nice to me. Just a kid hanging around her fence petting her dog.
Good memories.

Barb and Family. I was so sorry to hear of Shirley’s passing. I will always remember your mom from the countless hours we played at your house. She always welcomed us with a smile. Wishing you many fond memories. Much love to your entire family.
I met Shirley and Homer in Fort Worth, Texas. They would come to visit the Stanley's, Jim and Shirley's sister Dee. We always had a grand time. Then later they would visit at Lake Texoma. We had many memorable times.
Shirley was a Christian lady who gave her time to her church and friends. Her legacy will be passed on to her family and grandchildren.
Shirley is now at peace and visiting with Dee and Jim. Shirley may be gone but the memories will always linger.
Peace and loving comfort to Homer and the family.
Lean on our God and pass Shirley into a Heavenly Life.
O Loving God, welcome my beloved Aunt Shirley into the company of the Saints, where tears are no more, all suffering and pain are ended and there is great joy, abundant life and peaceful rest in Your loving presence.
Thank you and Uncle Homer for the many years of love and prayers and for all the times we shared. Your smile and laughter will be desperately missed but never forgotten. You will be welcomed in Heaven by so many who have loved and cherished you.
