I had the joy of getting to know Miss Shirley from her being one of sweetest dear ladies that lived in the same apartments that my grandmother Jenny Peterson lives ...
She became a great friend and I used to visit her along with my service dog Miss Ellie May which she really enjoyed and loved the relaxing visits we had and all the great activities that she went to that are provided to all the residents that lived there ...
I know in my heart that she is at perfect peace now with her maker and her family that gone on before her ...
With no more tears, sorrow, sadness,pain, sickness, disease but with a new glorified body in Christ Jesus !!
