Aunt Shirley and Uncle Johnny made room in their lives for a skinny little girl and let her name new calves the some of the dumbest names. Aunt Shirley with her kindness and love and Uncle Johnny with the twinkling eyes always made this not so skinny girl feel welcome and loved in their home. While I am not so good at keeping in touch I'll never forget being accepted in their home. I'll always remember "Aunt Shirley's Funny Farm. Uncle Johnny's truck blowing up, the cow's stampeeding, Johnny the horse biting Phill in the rear, making ourselves sick on lemon icebox pie. I Love you Aunt Shirley and will remember Uncle Johnny forever.
