Shirle has been like a sister to me . She was the other mother to my daughter as I was to her children. My prayers are with the family and She will be truely missed, but will remain in our hearts. God decided she had had enough and took her home where there will be no more pain, heart ache, lonliness. She is in a happy place still looking down on her children. Rest easy sister We love you. RIP
