Sorry for your lost. She looked to be an amazing person.
I remember how welcome I always was at your house, Mom, when Lisa and I were teenagers. I miss you and Dad. It was so wonderful to have you as my second mom.
I used to see Shirley and Merlin every week when I delivered Meals on Wheels. They were such a wonderful couple and I looked forward to our weekly visits. Shirley loved her family and I have heard so many stories. Rest in Peace, Shirley.
