We are so, so sorry for the loss of this wonderful lady. She was our favorite aunt and we loved her dearly. We will miss her laughter and those wonderful dinners at the kitchen table! I'm so glad we were able to visit with her last year. Love, Kay and Danny

Shiny, what a gal! Shiny was a superstar, full of life and love and so independent and curious until the last. She lived a long life as a widow with dignity and pride in her family. With her and Susie gone now, we will all miss the loving kindness they bestowed on us. they were really southern ladies with a kick! They loved you guys and your kindness to Shiny and your mother make the world a better place.
