Dear family of Shirley,
How we mourn with you the loss of dear Shirley! She was a special lady. My husband and I had the privilege of attending worship services with her when she lived in Vadnais Heights and attended Majestic Pines. She was a woman of faith and prayer and her love for Jesus was very evident! She became a friend to my Mom and a real encouragement to her, and I'm so thankful for her concern for her. Shirley was a blessing to all who knew her, and will be greatly missed.

Sending our sympathy to Shirley's family. We will miss seeing her at Christ Community Church. She was so fun to visit with. We hold the memory of giving her a ride home from church in our hearts!

Dear Family
I loved how your mother was referred to as 'Prayer-Warrior'. I will remember her and all of you in my prayers and at mass. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
