Love and prayers to the Shrewsbury family. She was my dad's (Willie Bishop) niece. I am the youngest in our family, so I remember Uncle Jim, and remember seeing Drema once when I was little at a family reunion at Uncle Roy's house. Wish we could have gotten together more. Once again, love and prayers.
Sincerely, Lisa Bishop-Derringer and Deepest Sympathy from Willie and Louise Bishop.
