Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of Aunt Shirley's passing. We are grateful to have known her - and remember her kind heart and great cooking! From the early days at Ft Bliss, through much our shared childhood and adulthood, Aunt Shirley and her family were important to our Muehsam family. Later it was great that Edie and Shirley stayed in touch through their retirement and older years. We send you love.
