Shirley Awofeso, my sister, my friend and my confidant!
The news of your passing dealt a heavy blow on me, my family and many others. If tears could bring you back, we would cry many tears. The last conversation you and I had about me visiting you and Tony in Texas is never going to happen.
I will miss you. Appleton will miss you. We will miss your smile and your unique fashion. We will miss your kindness, to us and our children, grandchildren and community. I remember the time I suffered from Pneumonia, you and Tony brought me homemade soup from Appleton to Green Bay and a nice fuzzy blanket and other goodies. You and Tony were present at both of my son’s weddings and played very important uncle and aunty roles. You always embraced all our children, grand children and your door was always open to all.
Shirley, we will miss you, we will miss your uplifting smile and your soft, gentle spirit. You will forever be in our memory.
Sleep on, and rest in peace.
