R.I.P. Shirley Murray Campbell August 18, 2020

   Still, when I go to say my prayers, I always have to preface it with the first prayer my mother taught us. I was in my white iron youth bed, Dorothy next to me in her brown high-sided metal crib, and our brother not far away. Our mother would go from one bedside to the next, and we would pray:   "God Bless Mommy, Daddy, Joseph, Mary Ellen and Dorothy, Shirley, Frances, Tommy and Agnes,* and Helen and Matt and Nanny."  

  * Thomas Michael was added later.
