I loved this lady with my whole heart; her and Emil were the BEST 2nd parents a girl could ask for. Shirley fed me lunch so many times I cant count them all and Emil fed me beer...lol....when Toni and I would ask him for a drink of his.....we would finish it off and give it back to him empty....he never said a word......I can still see me and Tony sitting in the chair sharing Emils cold one. A lot of good memories I have with this family; I am sorry we had just a few contacts in our adult years. I am so sorry I could not make it today but my job keeps me here.. you are all in my thoughts and prayers who lost such a beautiful, caring woman. I will always cherish Shirley and Emil both in my years to come. I also loved Shirleys Mom, Grandma Watt....what a great family; great pictures; good looking families......Shirley and Emil together created this beautiful family and you are all in my prayers and I am sorry for your loss of my 2nd Mom and friend, Shirley......
