So sorry to hear about the loss of your twin sister. I remember meeting both of you at Miss Ollie's Love Fest in Cocoa Beach some years ago. May you and your family be comforted at this time !

The time had come for her to say goodbye God needed his child so please don't ask why Her time on earth had come to a end but don't worry if your soul is right you will see her again She took God's test and it was passed so she got to sit at the head of the class She heard the Lord say job well done my child she took his hand and then she smiled It was her time to board the Glory train with her teacher manual in her hand she took one last look back and said to her family I'll see you all again...

To absent from the body and to be present with the Lord 2 Corinthians 5. My mother inlaw was a sweet and wonderful person. One of the things that I admired most about her was she never forgot a birthday or holiday. She was always thinking of others. she has now transitioned from labor to rest. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens 2 Corinthians 5:1. Shirley was not only my mother inlaw she was also my friend.

How blessed we are
How fortunate we've been
That you are his mother
And also my friend.

You will always be in my heart.โค
I could not have asked for a better mother in law... you truly were the BEST.

To my family I love you all, God will see us through.
