To the family of Mrs. Shirley Printup. Those we love remain with us , for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one's gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, for as long as there is memory, they'll live on in the heart. Shirley, I believe as you sat there in Mount Zion Second Baptist Church pews last Saturday at the service of Pam Warbington, you were trying to hold on, but God had other plans, it was your time. He was already looking out for you and preparing to move you on up a little higher because He needed another person who had been lead and guided all the way. Tears have fallen from your children, grandchildren, cousins, friends and your church family. Hearts have been shattered, but I believe it was your time to simply just peacefully tell your grandstand of family members Lord I Am Coming Home. God took you home. Shirley Ann Smith Printup "YOU ARE NOW IN A PLACE OF PEACE, A PLACE WHERE WE ALL WANT TO BE". May God keep all of you in His favor... Prayerfully as always, in Christ and in love, Ms. Gwen Whitehead

Dear Printup Family, Spend every day preparing for the next. As you reach forward with one hand, accept the advice of those who have gone before you, and then reach back for those who follow you; for life is a fragile chain of experiences held together by love. Take pride in being a strong link in that chain just as your mother is. Know those who love you; love is the finest of all gifts. Embrace those who truly love you, for they are few in a lifetime. Then return that love tenfold, radiating it from your heart to fill their lives as sunlight. Love is a journey, travel its path daily. Mrs. Shirley's journey in this lifetime was the chain link that has carried many of us day to day. She has gently passed the torch onto you and many others so that love, joy, happiness, and memories of life will continue forever. Mrs. Shirley is Love and she showed all of us how to love so kindly. She will be missed! With our deepest sympathy and love, Chandra Lester and Family
