Shirley was such a good friend and I will miss her terribly. Her faith was strong, her love of her children and grandchildren was great plus their love to her. She loved her life on the ranch and how her children helped her continue to live there after Roger passed away. She loved to brag about her kids and grandkids and she continued to miss Roger but kept on with her life in such a kind, healthy and gentle manner. So many of us will miss her.
