I have always called you my aunt shirley (and of coarse other things) but you are my 2nd cousin.
It's so funny to be so close to you as 2nd cousins usally are't but that is how much you meant to me. I know we
will be together as God has promised us all. Say Hi to my dad and grandpa Fred. My heart and love goes out to all
my 3rd cousins may God keep you close. Love and prayers. Cheryl

I still can't help but think you and grandpa raised eight kids and just not five. You were as much
of a mother to me as any mother was to any child in the world. We will all be OK in part to your never ending love
and compassion you shared for each and every one of us. Good night. Love you. Sweet dreams.
Shane and Caitlin
In love, I have lit a candle for you.
Heather Snyder
I love you Grandma. Rest in peace
Scotty
You will be forever loved and missed grandma!!! May you now be at peace!!
Keeley, Joe & Ryder Cole
Grandma I am so sorry I wasn't there to say good-bye. But I am grateful I was lucky enough to be
your grand-daughter. I will never forget the many memories of K-mart shopping with you and Ya's and the rummaging
every weekend. The time you yelled out the car window to some kid telling him his mom was looking for him. He ran
so scared like he was in so much trouble. LOL! Liar. All we have now is your memory which will be with me FOREVER.
Oh yeah and the laundry times on Fond du Lac Ave. I wish my daughter could've met you. But she will definitely
know all about you, and how much no matter how much us "FIGHTING COCKS" would fight you loved us no matter
what. As we do YOU.
Traci Kaye
Love bug, No matter how much I wanted you to stay here with me, it would be selfish of me not to
let you go. It broke my heart to see your struggle and it broke my heart when you left me today. I lost a large
piece of my heart today. I hope that some day my memories of you and your silliness and guidance will fill up that
void. Good night, sweet dreams, I won't see you in the morning...but some day.
Honey Girl
In love, I have lit a candle for you.

In love, I have lit a candle for you.

My heart goes out to the Krenn Family in the loss of their loved-one. I know it is difficult to
lose someone you love so much, but there is comfort in knowing that with the Lord, no one is forgotten or ceases
to exist. We have the comforting words of St. Paul who said, "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present
with the Lord" - (2 Corinthians 5:8).
We know that our True and *Real* Life is not here, but has always been with God in His Kingdom - the Place we are
striving for, I hope, in this mortal and short existence. To be free of the tethers and weight of the struggle
in this life, gives death not such a fearful thing to consider. Therefore, "...trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own understanding; in all your ways, acknowledge
His Presence in your lives" (Proverbs
3:5-8). There is a "Balm in Gilead" if we seek it early and keep it all our days. Blessed is the Memory
of Shirley Elaine Krenn. She is now at Peace. Take comfort in knowing this, and that she is now with the Lord our
Savior and her beloved husband, Arthur Krenn, our Hero"

In the belief that a heart filled with love knows no
separation from those who live on in memory, these words are inscribed here:
"If a man die, shall he live again? all the days
of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come." - Job 14:14
"For I know that my redeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: `And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet
in my flesh shall I see God: `Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though
my reins be consumed within me." - Job 19:25-26
"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death
of his saints." - Psalms 116:15
"Jesus said '...I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall
he live: `And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.'" - John 11:25-26
"We are confident, I say, and willing rather to
be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord" - (2 Corinthians 5:8)
"For to me to live is Christ, and to
die is gain." - Philippians 1:21
"And I heard a voice from heaven saying
unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may
rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." - Revelation 14:13
"Now, concerning the state of the soul
between death and the resurrection--Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all
men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil,
are taken home to that God who gave them life. `And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are
righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace,
where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow." - Alma 40:11,12,

the Book of Mormon - another Testament of Jesus Christ
