J.P., Gene and Dean, Jewel and I are sorry to learn of Shirley's death. We have good memories of talking to you all at Zion in the pew where you often sat just in front of Mother and Daddy. Her health was not good then, but she made it to church.
Thinking of you, Jewel Connelly Pearcy and Drucie Connelly Eaddy
