On Saturday, May 28, Shirley Nadine Reynolds Kersey-wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, neighbor and friend, ceased to struggle.  She quietly left this earthly life and was completely healed. No more struggles, no more pain!  She was a wonderful role model.  She supported and loved us all.  The only woman in a house full of boys, she lived out love and grace.  She was a go-getter and never met a stranger.  She grew the most beautiful flowers and was a great cook.  She loved us all.
