We were so sad to hear that cousin Shirley has passed away, I can remember all the Sunday afternoons that the Davis's coming over to our house, my mom and dads [Stan and Aunt Phyllis],. for a fun time for all. Shirley and my sister Betty were the 'older cousins', naturally they thought..that were better than us lowly, younger ones. However, we all enjoyed one another. Shirley was always a happy person and always a joy to have around. I hate to admit that I have not been in contact the last few years butt I am so happy that my sister [Betty] and Shirley have kept up their cousin relationship all these years, Shirley, may you rest in peace and be free of all aches and pains, and enjoy time in heaven with your Don and our Lord.
