    I still find myself thinking about all the years I have been apart of your life and how you saw me as a daughter too. It’s hard trying to vision you not here anymore knowing that I had many opportunities to see you, laugh with you, hug you and say that I’ll see you later but not in another life. I wasn’t prepared and neither was your daughter, grand daughter and grandson bit I most definitely enjoyed the years we did spend together and I and GRATEFUL!! I learned a lot from you just by watching how you dress and how you took care of your daughter. In my eyes YOU WERE A GREAT MOTHER!!! My God, I am going to miss you and if I see you again be the same Shirley I remember you as. I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH. Rest easy and watch over your girls and son. They need to feel your presence 😭😭😭

    I will always remember you, especially for how you took care of my cousin Kiawana. I can only remember the good old days when I was a kid. I can recall spending the night at your house with my cousin and my sisters. You didn’t play when it came to cleaning up, lol. Also, I remember your big bright smile. I pray your transition with the Father was a peaceful one. Although, your gone you won’t be forgotten. REST IN PEACE and may your spirit continue on to live through your daughter, granddaughter, and your great grandson. In closing, I never knew your birthday but it will be remembered because my daughter was born the same day. We love you, and I speak on behalf of my entire family…..

Grandma I’m a big sister now and you’re a grandma two times. I don’t know why it’s been so long since I’ve stopped by I guess because of life huh? Well to give you a little update I graduated college last year and I’m still living on my own trying to maintain it ain’t easy but I’ll make it. My baby sister name is Xy’Lah lol i helped name her.
