Mom, I have so many great memories of our times together over the years. I knew you probably 8 years before ever learning what your real name was. Everyone called you "mom", and that's what I knew you as. Playing pool was a hoot from the moment we walked into the place, until we walked out everynight. The 20 year old "yellas" would yell "mom" and come over and throw their arms around you. Of course you hated every second of it! Who else do I know that would dance all over the hillside at Monaca Community Days while the fireworks were being shot off! The picnics, the dances, the card games, pool nights, on and on; but I think my all time favorite's were our weekends at Geneva-on-the-Lake, now those were the days!!!!! We never did get the guts up to get that tatoo! I love and will miss my "mom" for ever; until we meet again.......

Shirley I'm going to miss you so much. Your smile, how you used to bat your pretty eyes, even your fiesty attitude. I loved it! I always looked forward to seeing, talking, and laughing with you. I have always had your best interest at heart in all I have done regarding you, you were special to me! I love you.
