    Aunt Shirley was always one of my very favorite people besides her being my Aunt. I have many precious memories of her down through the past over 50 years. She was a treasure extra-ordinary. Louise was certainly an Angel of Mercy to take such great care of her darling mother. God Bless You Louise! RIP Aunt Shirley.
