  1. Anderson family,
    Some of my most familiar memories involve Shirley and Don. Their funny and wonderfully sarcastic sense of humor shared with my parents still causes me to smile! Your mom had such a generous heart. The way she took care of us when my dad died was so tender and kind. I will be forever grateful.
    Please know our thoughts and prayers are with each of you. She was an amazing woman. You are truly blessed to have been able to call her “mom”.
    Blessings and hugs…..

  8. Shirley I can’t remember a time when your family hasn’t been a part of my family. We all grew up together. Your family’s kindness and love was one that I remember walking into the home on Pomona St. You no longer are in pain and I pray that helps your family with their healing. Please give my mom, dad and brothers a hug and kisses from me. Rest in paradise with Don, Sr you will be missed, love you…Nena

  9. I love you so much. I wish I had more time to spend with you. It wasn’t very much, however those moments meant so much to me. I’m so happy with my life, because of the son you raised I have a wonderful father who has given me an incredible life. His brothers and Sister are the amazing people I get to call my aunt and uncles. The family you raised is how I will remember you. The way you shaped their lives will live on in how they shape others. You will always be here in the hearts of the loved ones you touched.
    I’m happy you’re keeping grandpa company up there rest easy. Love, your Kalee.
