Misty, Russell and Lara, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your dear, sweet mother. She was always so pleasant and welcomed me in to her home like I was one of her own even though she probably didn't need another  teenager ;). The love she had for her children and for animals was apparent and they all made her very happy. I know you will miss her and the world will be a little less bright without her smile.

Shirley was my sister in Christ and my wonderful fellow horse lover. I will miss her and her beautiful gentle spirit. Looking forward to seeing her again one day, in the presence of our Savior. Love you, Shirley!

We are saddened to hear of Ms. Shirley‘s passing. She was a beautiful and gentle lady and we will always remember her for the love she had for her family and her deep compassion for animals.

Aunt Shirley was kind, goodhearted, and filled with great Joy of the Lord.  I loved being around her humor and laughter and always enjoyed our talks about our "four-legged" friends. When my dog passed away, she sent a card that really lifted me up and said, "There's plenty more "four-legged" friends out there that need good homes." Also, inside the card was the "Rainbow Bridge" poem. The best poem to read when you lose a pet. I will never forget the times when I was just a kid and Aunt Shirley and the rest of us would go on vacation and have good times. She will be missed but we will meet with her again in heaven. Thank You, Lord Jesus!  But, for now, she has become a part of the grandstands of other men and women of faith from the past cheering the rest of us on to the finish line.  -Hebrews 12:1.  All is well!  Love and prayers for all the family!   -Love, Gina Patee

I knew Shirley from working with her at Fort Benning. She was a very kindhearted and wonderful person & she did so much good in her lifetime. It was an honor to know her. May you rest in peace, Shirley.
To her family; I pray that God will give you comfort & peace in the days ahead. May God bless you all.
