Aunt Shirley. Your smile and laughter is carved onto hearts. Your life etched onto minds. You'll be sorely missed.
Aunt Shirley, we met in person rarely but I valued the other contact we had. I had been wondering how you were when I got the news that you had left us. I will miss you, I'm sorry I can't be there to see you off on your last journey. Xxx
Dear Shirley, I only met you twice when you came to England in 2011. On one of those days you visited our little town Olney. You, Dave, Mark, Grace and I went to the Cowper Museum, then to the Courtyard to have lunch. Do you remember the rain? We got soaked! We talked about serveral subjects in great depth and though I'd only just met you, we exchanged words so easily. You were honest, kind and youthful with a brilliant sense of humour. Its fair to say you made quite an impression on me! Thank you for being part of my life, even for the briefest of moments. Good night and God bless. xxxx
I went to school with Chris and Mrs. Leonard was as common to see in school through the years as were the teachers. She would volunteer tirelessly helping out with extra reading, field trips... everything. She was patient and kind and her smile (which she always wore) would light up a room. My condolences to her family and friends.
Steve and family, Chris and Trish, Although we only knew your mother a short while, we were very much impressed by her love of family, beauty, warm personality and the smile she always wore. Our deepest sympathy on your loss.
Steven, Chris and family. Our deepest condolences for your loss.
