Sincere condolences to all the family on the passing of a beautiful woman. I remember Aunt Shirley from years ago when we were very little. She was such a quiet, soft spoken lady with a warming smile. I remember her rosy cheeks. She was a lot like my mom, her sister, Phyllis. Shirley was moms last living sibling. I know the Lord has them in a special place in heaven. I carry mom in my heart every day. I hope you can carry your mom, Shirley, also. Love from Christina Manning (nee Cooper)
