    I’m so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose your mother. She was always very sweet Aunt.

    I wish I could attend the service, however we are currently at Mayo Clinic for my husband. Our deepest sympathy for your loss.

    So sorry to hear about Shirley passing. I always look back to the old days when my parents would take me and my brother Terry up to Isabella to visit Emily and the family on the farm it was an adventure I always look forward to. I remember visiting Myron while he was in his iron lung in the living room. Collecting eggs from the chickens and feeding the pigs. Enjoyed going on Hunting adventures with my cousins with all our BB guns. Humorous stories of a big rooster chasing the girls on their way to the school bus I believe. After Aunt Emily passed away and my Grandma Della and father George Gunner Anderson , we lost track somehow with other distractions in daily living. I just want everyone to know that I love all my cousins and relation and I will dearly Miss Shirley. Our prayers go out to the family and to all those feeling great loss at this time. Amen!
