Aunt Shirley was the sweetest most humble lady. She would call and always ask "are you reading Psalm 91? Well keep on reading it everyday". I will miss hearing her sweet voice. She is healed & whole with the heavenly father. You are in my prayers Von, Resa, Van, Moe & Keisha. Be encouraged knowing she's rejoicing with the Lord. Tina Martin-Mitchell

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. I am a witness to Aunt Shirley living her life in the Spirit. She lived a life of humility and grace. To God be the Glory for His Grace and Mercy. Althea, Michael and Mason
