As we lose those so Dear to us, we must remember that their Brightness will never leave our Soul. Though I did not know Shirley, her circle of family and friends will feel a huge void…but if Shirley is like my late sister Kathy, they too will know that their emptiness will soon turn to wide smiles in just thinking of the memories Shirley left behind.
My deepest Sympathies to the Jones family.

Shirley always had a smile. She loved life even though her life was hard. She was always positive. Loved to see her at Bunco. We had a great time.

Dawn,
Although I didn’t have the honor of meeting your Mom, reading the wall is telling that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree!!!
Many of those same traits that friends and family are sharing describes you perfectly . . . I know she will be missed, but she passed on a lot of her in you . . . that should always bring a smile to your face.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
