I was so sad to hear of the passing of Shirley. She used to write me when I was a soldier deployed to Kuwait. We would exchange Christmas cards every year. This year, her card was returned. I got on the Internet to see if she had passed away, and I have just found out. She was a really wonderful woman, and I really enjoyed exchanging letters and emails with her occasionally. My condolences to family and friends of Shirley (Sam). It saddens my heart but, I’m glad that I was privilege to know her.
Sam and Cuz. 2 of my all time favorite prople.
Of all the friends I’ve had in my life, I counted Shirley as one of my very best. She was such an inspiration to all with her adorable quick wit and funny mannerisms. She could make you laugh in an instant. Her facial expressions were unmatched. She also had a personality like none other which endeared her to so many of us. I look forward to seeing her again one day in that beautiful Heaven above. She loved dancing and I can picture her now...dancing with the Angels. Love you Shirley Hinton
There’s so much to say about my mom, Sam, that there isn’t room here to hold everything! She was so proud to be from Smyrna, and was a graduate of Campbell High School. She loved my dad “Cuz” with such intensity and took such great care of him, especially during his illness. She did the same for her daughter, Kayla. She was generous with her time and her money, invariably finding the least among us to minister to. She loved Bible studies, her church, reading, sewing, going to the beach and spending time with her grands and great-grands. She was a firecracker with a hilarious sense of humor and she owned every room she ever walked into. She never met a stranger. She is irreplaceable and we will miss her but are so glad she has been restored and made whole. #wildandcrazy #ShootAMonkey (if you know, you know!)
SAM (Shirley) and I have been best friends since high school...We have been places together, we talked to each other just about everyday..I will miss her greatly..Joan Sentell
