Shirley primarily was a wife and mother. She was a very faith filled lady. She was full of class and always so well put together, truly a queen until the very end.
She enjoyed composing simple poetry. Here are a few lines Shirley would like to leave you with…
ME
A life with some sorrows, good times and jokes
I love God, my country, music and folks
When loved ones and friends passed away her poetry “pictured” them riding a rainbow and ended with “till we meet again…….”
She leaves you with the same thought - till we meet again…..
