Mitch and Stacie and family, Shirley was a fun lady and she always had a bright smile. She did love her family and never missed anything you did Stacie. I remember your Mom from when we were teenagers. She and I were in the Peyton Saddle Club together and were Queens Aides together. The funny part is, I didn't realize that Shirley Bird was Shirley Hall for many years. We love you girl and are praying for you and your Dad.
