God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so He put his arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away, and although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Shirley was loved by many and will be dearly missed
Mom, you will truly be missed by us. You were a wonderful mother, grandmother and mother-in-law/friend to me. I know that you will be watching over all the boys from above. I know you are cancer and pain free now and that in itself, brings joy to us. I love you and thank you for all you have done for me and the boys. You are deeply loved and will forever be missed. May you now rejoice in Heaven with the ones who preceded you in your reuniting. May you sing and dance with the angels. I love and miss you forever, Tammy.
