So sorry to the Wanko family. Shirley was the sweetest person. She always got a big kick when Jake would go on and on with his jokes on Halloween. She will be missed. R.I.P. Shirley. Now she is with Nick!

What can I say, but , I have such a big void in my heart. I MISS YOU SO MUCH..

Painting her nails and watching American Idol and Family Feud. I miss so much my daily calls to her just to say hi how are you and I love you. Thanks for being not only my mom but my best friend. .. I LOVE YOU MORE, RIP mama, Love Denny
