Dear Michael, Paul and Cheryl
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom.

"Shirley King" will always be remembered with her little bow in her hair, a big smile on her face and a fixture of Neponset. She was the most kindest, gentle woman and was known by everyone,always there watching out for us Neponset kids at Tenean beach.
She was an icon at the Community Church of Neponset and her loyalty to her friends was outstanding.
Shirley was always there for my Mom, Lilly and my cousin Eva.
My cousin Eva called her "The Mayor of Keystone" :)
She was devoted to her family and Church and was always known for a very positive attitude about life. You could always depend on Shirley to put a smile on your face.
It's been a few years since I've seen her, but "Shirley King" is someone you just don't forget. Thanks Shirley for so many wonderful memories of my years growing up in Neponset.
You are all in my prayers as you go through this difficult time.
Your Mom truly is one of God's Angels.
God Bless
