To the Cornut Family,
Aunt Shirley possessed a beautiful soul. She will be remembered for her potato salad every 4th of July - host of the Annual Dimon Family Reunion picnic. I have many memorable times to reminisce at the yearly picnics. I was always grateful for the many visits she and Uncle Charlie would pay my dad on Walnut Tree Hill Road. A kind and loving aunt who is truly loved and will be sorely missed. She has now joined her loved ones on the other side. What a family reunion in Heaven that must be.
Sincerely,
Pam & Tony Bilotto
