mojo413 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I am very sorry to hear this. When my Mom moved here in 96 she showed me houses and we bought Mom's house from her. Mom never saw the house till she arrived here with her world possessions. Mom was very happy in that home for almost 11 years. Mrs. Helms did a great job selecting a wonderful house for my Mom without meeting or talking to her. Link to post Share on other sites
tundra Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) RIP Shirley. You were an integral part of our family and a great sister-in-law. Anyone that ever met you know you had an incredible sense of humor and could make an entire room roar with laughter. You will be missed by many.
