I am so sorry to hear about Ms. Shirley. When I saw all of you at the hospital in Beaumont, I started praying for a full recovery for Ms. Shirley if it was God's will. If it wasn't His will. I prayed that each and everyone of you would not give up your faith and that you all know that He will see you through this time. It had been a log time since I saw any of you but I remember living across the street from you and all of us getting our behinds busted either by my mom or yours. If one got a spanking it seemed we all got one. Now Ms. Shirley is up there with my mom, dad and husband and my husband is probably getting an earful with things like"let me tell what she did when she was...." Anyway you all will continue to be in my prayers and thoughts. Remember this; God wanted a special rose for His garden and He chose Ms. Shirley. Go Rest High On That Mountain Ms. Shirley.

Dear Family: Being the oldest niece of Aunt Shirley's (daughter of David and Marie Procell) I recall so many fun times in her front yard in Ebarb. I wasn't very old, but I recall her singing country music songs and sitting on her front porch with cold tea and cold water sipped from a common dipper and bucket. She and Mom would loved to "argue" about who had lost the most weight or who had the best husband and kids. (I'm sure it was always a draw). God bless her and you. You are in our prayers. You have our thoughts and prayers. Carol Gregorek and the entire David and Marie Procell
