Shirley, you were always a big sister to me since I was 14. You took care of my son when he was a baby and you took care of me as I grew up. I will always love ❤️ and cherish you but most of all, I will miss you dearly. Please say hello to Momma, Daddy, Judy and my son. It’s never gonna be the same without you but you will be in the company of the best! Rest In Peace Big Sis. Love ❤️ you!
My Nana, the legacy you’ve left is unmatched. I look at my children and am reminded that each one of them is a piece of you and for that, I thank you. Although I miss you, deeply, the joy that I have knowing you are with the stars is outweighs every sad thought that crosses my mind.
Your last words to me were, “Wipe that worried look off your face, I love you”
Well, Nana, I’m no longer worried. I love you too
