My sincere condolences to Debbie and family. Shirley was my neighbor and babysat for me as a child. I was the flower girl at her wedding. I wore a red velvet dress and carried a white fuzzy muff. Shirley was a dear friend to my whole family. Love you. Diane Krueger and family.

My condolences to your family. In your sorrow may there be hope, in your thoughts may there be peace, in your heart may there be be healing. Psalm 147:73 assures us "He (Jehovah God) heals the broken hearted,He binds up our wounds". May you find comfort in God's Words at this difficult time.
