It’s been said that Shirley had a passion for baby sitting. Well, I can tell you that is true. I was her 1st customer. She was 11 years old when I was born & from then on she was with me all day, every day until her family moved back to Franklin. After that, we only got together on a few rare occasions, but stayed as close as family for 77 years (mostly by long letters). When she had her first daughter and named her after me, I was as proud as I could be. I loved Shirley dearly and will miss her more than I can say. A piece of my heart is now in Heaven. She was a great lady and a blessing to have in my life. My love and prayers are with Kay and all the family.
