Donald,
I am so sorry to hear of Shirleys passing. I can not even begin to understand the loss you feel.
I have always thought you two were the perfect couple. Sweethearts in high school, and being married for all these years, what a wonderful declaration of love. You have taken such good care of her. So just know in your heart you were always that loving support she needed. I remember when everyone would be at Mamaw's and Papaw's , I always liked to sit and talk to Shirley ( I always thought she was so Pretty) and she was always so sweet, even in her pain. She never complained, and was always complimentary to everyone.
I know these past few years have been very hard on you. Now it is time for you to rest and take care of Donald, and I know she would want you to. If there is anything I can do, PLEASE just give me a call.
I love you and my heart hurts for you....You will be in my prayers.
Love, Your Cousin
Sandra (Landers) Gauthier
