Nathan & Billy, I'm sure there are not words to describe the loss you are feeling. Just know that you have many aunts, uncles, cousin and a very special grandmother who are here for you during this terrible time and always. To Shirley's siblings, I have 7 brothers & sisters and each one holds a special place in my heart as I'm sure Shirley did yours. I can not imagine what it would be like to lose one of them. I am so very sorry for your loss. Shirley was one of a kind and will be missed by many. Sandy Franklin Dunn
