In loving memory of our dear mother and friend, Shirley Ann Crawford, who will be dearly missed by her loving family and devoted friends. You gave us life to live as we please. Shirley, our mother and friend, gave us love and the support to follow our dreams. Herr beauty lives forever deep in our soul. The memory of her love fills our hearts to let us know we are never apart. Seeing our special angel draped in white, our heart breaks with a hurt out of sight. This special mother and friend, Shirley, left us all too soon. You have let us know that we had loved you more than enough and our relationship was always ideal. The day Shirley transitioned made our journey was very tough, but our love for her will never die. So we will not entomb our hearts, yet we'll let what God has planned for her manifest in the things that will be our new start. No matter how many days and years you will be gone, it feels like that day everyday. We will always cry and continue to say, "This mom was a hero; leading us to right; forgiving and loving like a heavenly star that shine bright." Resting in God's arms, we are still guided by  our matriarch's support and her light. Our dear mom and friend, Shirley Crawford, we thank you for  touching and making our lives so  bright. Losing a special mom can make you lose your way. In darkness so deep, the love of God she taught us will help us find light, even if it is  just a ray.

Shirley Ann Crawford will be truly and dearly missed by a host of loving relatives and devoted friends. Isaiah 52:7
