I met Shirley over 22 years ago. through the years, she always showed love and concern for everyone. She "showered" me with gifts of love at my wedding and my babyshower back in 1994 and 1995 and on numerous occasions over the years at Papa and Grannie's house.
You will be missed by MANY. But God needs you more. I look forward so seeing you again....Love you, Deborah Barnes and Cody Barnes.
First and foremost I'm so very sorry for your loss. Losing a Momma one of the hardest things tho go thru. May the peace of God be with each one of you. When I met Momma Shirley I fell in love with her right away, her kind heart , her gentle touch, she opened up her home and her heart to me and continued to do so for many years. I love u so much and will miss u terribly. I'm sure glad God gave me the opportunity to see u again before He took u to be a angel . Till we meet again . Rest in His arms. Griselda aka Peewee
Shirley was my dear sister-in-law of 30 years. She loved me from the first time we met and I loved her. Shirley was always welcoming and enjoyed being with her family which was huge. Joe and I have eaten many a home cooked meal at Shirley's table. Her fried cornbread was the best. She leaves behind many cousins and friends that she grew up with in Lumberton, NC. Shirley lived the life of a Christian woman. Her sons and grandchildren can be proud of the legacy she leaves with them. We miss her terribly but now she is with her family members that believed in Jesus and the eternal life trusting in him brings. She is truly free for the first time in her life. Free of sin, free of pain, free of death. I see her laughing, dancing and rejoicing in heaven's glory. I am happy that her struggle is over.
