My dad was Herbert Wayne Adcock.  His mother was Edna Lee Diggs, a sister to Shirley's mother, Bonnie Gilder.  I remember Bonnie living in DeLeon.

Dear shirley I met you at the arbors over 3 years ago and became fast friends with you and sweet ellie. We visited often when the dr said you needed to gain weight I brought you dinner until you could have your surgery. You always had a smile for me and Harley she loved coming to your house.  When I moved to the reserve and learned how the rent was based on income I had to get you here it took 2 months but I did it and you told me many times even the week before u left us that u loved it here. I miss my friend every time I walk by your apartment I had my sad day missing you and she'd a tear but I know you would not want that you would want joy you always had a smile and a laugh my sweet friend until we meet again

Shirley [as Hayes] was a fellow worker at Alcon Laboratories. We overlapped for many years [me: 1970-2009]. I first knew that Shirley was special during the funeral of her son, Randy. She carried that grief the rest of her life, but always had a smile at Alcon. She helped me put together a few of the Alcon R&D Christmas Parties that I was in charge of and I have posted one of the pictures from that event.  I think it captures her spirit. She was such a good sport about all my foolishness in preparing for a humorous presentation at the Christmas party.  Shirley was a good lady and I remember her fondly. Prayers to all her family.

Shirley,  you were such an amazing sister to Dad (Herman). You will be missed dearly. Please keep Herman in line up there in Heaven, I know y’all will be having a great time together. Love you always.
