Whenever I think of Shirley, I remember her beautiful smile. She was one of the nicest people I ever had the pleasure to work with. She maintained a sense of grace, laced with cheerfulness. Thanks to Gary & Karen for keeping her friends apprised of the changes in her life. My thoughts and prayers go out to all her family and friends, as Shirley was a wonderful and kind person and will be greatly missed.

My heart goes out to all of you in this most difficult time. Your Mother was a wonderful person, and someone always very dear to my heart. I have many happy thoughts and memories of all the good times that we had shared. She will be missed, take comfort in the fact that she is now at peace, resting, in a much better place. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. She will live in the hearts of everyone who knew her, forever. God Bless.
