Shirley, you will be missed,, only knew you a short time,but enjoyed a few one and one chats,, enjoyed having you as a neighbor,,,
My mom-in-law was a strong, strong lady. Though tiny, she had a commanding presence. She was quick to laugh and loved to dance and I count myself lucky to have been able to do both with her often, these many years. While her loss has left a hole in my world, I am grateful to have had her in my life.
