Dale Janice Cale Sisler 2010-01-18 11:35:28 I'm so sorry you have to experience losing your spouse. Please take care of yourself. It's a hard experience. You'll never get over losing her, but you will learn how to live with it. Shirley and I started out in first grade together and were friends through school and later.

Linda Long 2010-01-26 06:06:47 Dear Friends, I just received my copy of the PT this morning and was so sad to learn about Shirley. She was such a special lady and a wonderful blessing to all of us who knew and loved her. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you in Franklin now. Dale, you have been so good and strong through her illness. Deb, what a fine daughter you are. I miss you all. Linda

Mr. Nieman Melissa Conrad and family 2010-02-04 22:35:35 I have never been so impressed by a husband that took his marriage vows as serious as you. You were a constant help to your wife throughout her stay at the nursing home and even though she is gone, your memories will hopefully bring you peace. I can only imagine the void you fill with her loss but try to be active and know we all are thinking of you at this difficult time. You might not remember me but we talked once a year and I was always impressed at your motivation to continue to care for your wife after she went to the nursing home. God Bless.
