To say that Shirley was an inspiration is like saying "the sun was out today." There is so much more depth to the story! I only knew Shirley and Lee for a short while at Lawrenceville First United Methodist church where they were members of our small group, Jericho, and where I served with Lee as a Stephen Minister. I'm so glad that they were able to enjoy their time near the beach before moving back "home" to Gwinnett County, again. I was able to see Shirley once during one of her hospital visits, and I felt like I was receiving a blessing as I listened to all that she had endured, because like St. Paul, Shirley articulated the many ways she had been blessed and watched over through every gate and path. I can't wait to read her book! Frank and I will continue to pray for Lee and all of the family as they walk this trail and listen to the whispers of Holy Spirit wisdom that Shirley will be delivering to help them through. Thank you, Shirley!
