El Dorado, AR Monday, April 24, 2017 My condolences to your family, Miss Shirley was loved by myself, and MANY others; she was such a funny, sweet, and caring Woman. I can literally see Eric waiting for her, impatient as he always was, like "Mom hurry up, we got lots to do up here," and I know as much as she hated to leave the rest of her family behind, she is also dancing with Joy to see her "Baby Boy" again, and I bet they are having a Grand 'Ole Time! Those of left to remain on Eath are the ones saddened, but up there, well all their pain & worries are gone! Again, my deepest sympathies. I won't be able to make service in Monticello, but will come to family gathering in ElDo.SUSIE JONES CHADWICK
