I am sad to share that America's Sweetheart,
Shirley Temple Black,
has passed away, at the age of 85.
Shirley was born on April 23, 1928 and has passed on Monday, February 10, 2014. She was surrounded by family and caregivers, at her home in Woodside, California. Shirley's acting career began, at the age of 3, in 1932, in a series of one-reelers. She has touched the hearts of many, and she shall always be remembered as America's "Little Princess"!
We Salute you Shirley Temple Black - for the Joy you brought America, during the Depression Years and for serving your country, under President Ronald Reagan, President Ford, and President George H.W. Bush, as an Ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.
I am proud to say I grew up, as many generations of children have,
singing her songs, especially "On the Good Ship Lollipop"
and "Animal Crackers in My Soup", and so on!
Our family loves watching her movies, too...
The Little Princess, Heidi, Curly Top,
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and many, many more!!!
I do hope generations to come will treasure them, as we did!
As Shirley has taken her final bow,
our hearts are filled with sadness and sympathy.
With our Heartfelt Prayers...
for her dear family and friends.
