Mrs. Shirley 
Your smile, Our conversations always full of laughter, Your touch as you reached for my hand, The warmth I felt the first day we meet, Your eyes that spark is unforgettable, Most of all seeing your strengths mentally and physically. Very incredible woman thank you so much for everything !!! 

I was named after this lady holding the microphone, my Aunt Shirley. You can see by this picture she was always the life of the party!  My heart is heavy upon hearing of her passing, and I will always remember her smile and laugh. I will miss her dearly. 

Thank you Mom for being my best friend and loving Mom.  I will always smile remembering our dinners each evening growing up, we laughed and we shared our events of the day, but must of all that was our time we were together.  I will always thank you for making sure I was a responsible, caring person that looked out for others. The opportunities you and Papa awarded me were enormous and that is what made me who I am today. 
Thank you Mom, you will always be in my heart. I love you!❤️

I will always love you Nanny.  I couldn’t have asked for a better grandmother, and I will never forget all the great times we had and adventures we went on.
Our weekend trips to the farmers market (huge hot dogs, funnel cakes, and of course bologna).
Playing cards ( rummy )
The trips and cruises you and papa took us on, and soo much more.
I loved your love of music and dancing, they truly made you happy!
You always welcomed me with open arms when I wanted a quick FL get away. It meant a lot to me!
I am so glad you were able to get to know Nicholas, he is very lucky he got to meet such a great grandmother (nanny).  I will make sure to share many great memories with him.
Just know you were loved by so many, and your loving spirit will live on.
You will be forever missed.
I love you always - Cole


Nanny-
Where do I begin... you truly were an amazing women! I will never forget the times we shared and the many trips we went on.  You certainly knew all
The right ways to show 2 grand daughters  how it felt to be loved.  The times we shared laughing, playing cards, dancing, and always listening to you sing will be memories I will forever remember.  Could not have asked for better!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your last time with me singing along to oldies songs and dancing in your chair.  That memory will never EVER leave my heart.  Love you more then words can describe ❤️

Every time we went out to dinner... shirley always had to have her beer. Even as she got older and couldn’t have alcohol she had to have o’dools.  So every time we go out to dinner, let’s always have a beer in remembrance of Shirley. Cheers nanny!
