My aunt Shirley deserves the very best, so Jesus came and held his blessed Shirley in the palm of his hand and brought her back to her Eternal home. How happy she must be! Every sense fully awake, experiencing all. Hearing the Heavenly love of every soul that welcomed her home again. While she lived her human life , she taught us that laughter should be a constant companion as well as dedication tenacity and most importantly love. Her heart held so much love , that by giving half to her husband Harold , they could circle their children with it together, then let it ripple like water in a pond overr their grandchildren. And then continue to ripple over their great-grandchildren. That ripple of Love expands, never to end ! That is what my Aunt Shirley left for us here on Earth ; a never ending circle of living growing love ! Aunt Shirley, I will see you when I come back home. LOVE Barbara
