I loved going to visit my grandma as kid. I have many fond memories of her including sleeping her in bed & her saying we were cold-blooded because we got cold so easily. I also remember many times where I'd wake up quite early, still from out, & she'd be up having coffee in the kitchen. I look back on knowing her with much love & nostalgia.
All I can say is that Shirley was my most favorite, most fun aunt ever!!! I enjoyed talking with her on the phone & she always remembered birthdays & anniversaries with a card. Shirley was ten years younger than her sister, Gladys, (my mother) and it was fun to hear the different stories and viewpoints of how growing up REALLY was in the Laramore family.
I love you dearly, Shirley, and know that you are having a great time smiling & laughing with family & friends in the hereafter. You were/are my favorite aunt and you are missed.
Love you always...Cecilia (Bedigrew) Huddleston
5 generations we are. My heart hurts. You were my everything. Grandma, you were the most amazing woman, always putting family first. The dinners, the love, the summers, we also knew you meant business when you did. Lol after raising 5 boys, there was no getting past you. Ha. You taught me so many wonderful things, From sewing, crocheting, crafting and cooking. I’ll forget cherish those memories and I only hope and pray I can be half of the grandmother you were to us. Please give grandpa my love... hug Travis tight. Know that one day we will all be together again. I love you so much.
