Granny, where to begin, well first and foremost nobody is taking it easy that you left us, our hearts shattered. I can say I got a couple things one being when my mom passed she spoke up to me and said I will be your mom everything will be ok. Those words play over and over again in my head, and when I asked you if you wanted shrimp last time I saw you, and you say yes, I said how many you want granny and you said all of them , I said granny we ain't on no shrimp boat and you said we can be lol. You will be forever loved and missed from all of us! Love jon

She was my favorite cutie. She was always there for me and all my sisters. She was my mom's baby sister. I will miss her stirring up trouble and her funny antics. I will miss you dearly my sweet aunt shirley.

No matter who you were, if she liked you, you became family. Her door was open to all. She was the most patient mother, especially when it came to dealing with me. The last few years between us have been the best. I love you Mom with all my heart and soul! You can rest now. We will be okay.
