  1. To the family of Shirley Waterhouse – Kerfine, I sure enjoyed having your mother as a neighbor and friend. When thinking about old times, your family always comes to memory, it was that much fun! So sorry for your loss, Karen

  2. My Aunt Shirley was such a beautiful lady. Not only outside but inside. She always had a smile that would light up the room. I don’t think I ever heard her actually SAY a bad word. She was hilarious. Always had a funny joke to make you laugh.
    As a kid I wanted to be like her when I grew up. Ha! I’d never come close. She baked, made cakes, and her salads were awesome. (although she made a fuss over my potato salad) I never will forget that day that she did. I was so happy that I pleased her.
    Aunt Shirley, you have been through so much, pretty lady, and our mighty Lord knew it was time for you to rest. Your time with our Master is just about to begin. Rest easy lovely lady. You are with the rest of your family now.
    The Lord will watch over your children down here.
    Rest in Peace my beautiful Aunt.
    Love forever,
    Your niece,
    Pam Winningham (Stevens)
