Hard to believe, I just talked with Shirley on the phone days ago.. Its so Sad, but I sit here and picture her holding her sister’s hand(whom we both loved) watching down on ALL of us. That picture makes it a bit better. Love you and you will be in my heart forever! To all the family, She was a wonderful woman. Hugs from the Hemstra’s
