Shirley Yvonne Royer
It seems her calling in life was to worry about those around her. If she didn’t hear from you or thought something was wrong she would go to extraordinary lengths to locate you. Sometimes to a degree that would make Perry Mason throw in the towel, for those of you too young to know who he was, “Google it.”
All joking aside, Shirley was a spectacular graceful lady. She was always so put together with a snappy outfit, perfect hair and make-up, nails done just right and wow how she lit up a room. She had an endless supply of warm hugs and I love yous. Her faith in God and final destination were certainly no secrets. Now that she’s left this earthly world, there’s no doubt that she’s gone from rags to the greatest of all riches. Just imagine her there at the pearly gates shining like never before, arms wide open, persistently waiting for each of her loved ones to arrive; and looking forward to our united eternal life in heaven.
