To the family, 

Our heartfelt condolences to all of you.  Shirley was my cousin and I remember our childhood when we came to Clarksburg to visit Grandma and Grandpa Heater and we always visited Aunt Flora and Uncle Raymond. I haven't seen Shirley for many years but remember her as a very sweet girl.  I know my sister Jennifer would also send her wishes but she is in the hospital and has been very ill since the day before Christmas.  We will think of you on Monday and pray for all.   

Love,

Jack and Pattie Davis Welch
