To my one and only Gran, today marks one year since you moved far far away. There isn’t a day that doesn’t go by that I don’t want to just pick up the phone and call you, and talk about boys, school, or work. We never really had to talk about anything, just as long as we heard each others voices. When I was in college, you and I talked at least once a week. You told me about your day, and I told you about mine. You used to call me at night so you could tell me goodnight, and I miss that, very much so. I cant wait till the day I get to see you again. That day cant come fast enough. But I am here holding down the fort for our family, but you know that already. I can feel how proud you are of Jordan and I. I can see you smiling from miles and miles away. I love you and miss you so much, and I cant wait to see you.Your Little Girl, Amber

Miss Tall Texas, my cousin Shirley, was a mainstay to our family. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends. I know she and her brother, Jimmy, are now re-united in their eternal home along with their parents. I remember their home in Ennis, Texas with the long porch rapped around the house. I remember the time when she, as an older teenager, came "way out west" to Marfa, Texas to visit our family. Shirley, we will miss, and remember you.

I will miss Shirley so much as she was always smilling and had a funny story to share. Knew her from Newcomers and we were in Bunco for years. I will remember the last time she was at my home and what a fun person she was. So sorry her life had to end way too soon. May you rest in peace Shirley and you will be missed. Carolyn Costanza

I first met Shirley through a widow's group. Her wonderful sense of humor struck me. Yes, to those who did not know her, it could sound a bit harsh but I understood it as it matched my own and we had many good laughs together. Through the years at coffees and gatherings of the Lewisville NewComers group, that humor stayed and was always something I looked forward to. When I saw Shirley in the hospital, she graciously put everyone at ease with her assurance that she was okay with her situation and you knew she meant it. Rest in peace. Barbara Kuykendall

I've know Shirley for several years now–I served on the GLNC Board in 2012-13 when Shirley worked on Trips. The Green Acres Gardeners appreciated Shirley helping out at the Monarch Station at Green Acres, and we enjoyed her stories of saving caterpillars and raising them to butterflies in her house. I will miss Shirley's sense of humor; I appreciate her approach to her illness. Shirley was gone quickly, and I trust peacefully–we are fortunate to have good memories and her brave example.

As a follow-up to Becky's comments, I too have fond memories of Shirley at Green Acres. Shirley would often bring her dog (Riley?) with her to Green Acres. The dog would inevitably trample much of our hard work but with such joyful abandon that it was difficult to be upset. Shirley was completely nonplussed and simply laughed at our concerns? What a character Shirley was; my life has been enriched by her…

I met Shirley about five years ago, and always enjoyed her flamboyant style and outgoing personality. I had the opportunity to visit Shirley a few days before she passed away, and she was gracious and completely peaceful, knowing she would soon be with the Lord. Shirley was always ready for a good time. She will be missed by many.

It was a joy to be with Shirley. We had a mutual friend, Carol Brinton, who had met Shirley through Smokenders. I worked with Shirley at Assistance League, and I enjoyed her creative talents and out going friendliness. She will be missed. Betty Crofford

I had the pleasure of meeting Shirley through the Greater Lewisville Newcomer's Club. We were in a Bunco and Antiquing group together. Shirley was always so pleasant and anxious to share conversation. She so enjoyed the company of others and was a gracious host at her home. I'll miss her. May she rest in God's peace. Gloria Tuckey

Shirley was always trying to get me a cat! I don't know how many times I told her no. I lost count! On one of her last days she was very excited when Maggie & I brought her a chocolate shake. Shirley will be missed!
