United Again
So as I leave you, on this October Day
I am united with my handsome George E. May,
I lived a wonderful life, filled with loving friends and family,
But there is another place, that I must be,
My life fulfulled, it has been truly great
I had to leave…..I did not want to be late
Be happy knowing I had a great life,
I must go now to my husband, for I am his wife
No sadness or sorrow, but with joyful tears
I go to him now, with absolutely no fears,
He has waited for me patiently, I must add,
Can’t wait to see him, I am so glad,
Goodbye my friends and loved ones, hugs and kisses to you all,
United again with my soul mate.. for he finally did call.

My good friend Thelma is Shirleys’ sister and I know how very much she loved her and how much she will miss her. My prayers are for the family that they can get through this difficult time and share their love for each other and support each other as I know they will.

I live at Stationview Place and got to know your mother while she was sitting outside having her cigarette. She reminded me of what my grandmother used to refer to as someone as a real FIRE CRACKER. She had a sarcastic sense of humor. Just like me. I hope that when I get to her age and have went through my own share of life experiences, that I can have the same sense of humor.
She was one of the best, it is time for George to come out of the closet!!!

Richard, David and Families:
So sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. Shirley was a good friend of Barry’s mom, Jean. Just heard the sad news today, Sunday, Oct. 30th. She was a lovely lady and we truly enjoyed our little visits with her as well when we would stop in to see Jean. Again, please accept our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts are with you.
