To the Hardy Family,

Shirley and I were childhood friends and we lost contact over the years.

When words aren't enough and it's hard to understand why, find strength in those who care.

May you find peace and comfort.

To the Hardy family,
Shirley was at the bank when I went to work there in 1970 and we worked together for many years until my retirement in 2001. Shirley was a very special person, always happy at heart and willing to share that happiness with everyone around her.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers and may God Bless you.

Andrea and Brian-
I am deeply saddened to learn about the loss of your mother. Shirley and I worked together for many years at the FED. I remember her bringing you guys into the bank for all of us to meet. Shirley was funny and a fighter. She was very proud of you-so hold onto that as you both struggle through your loss.
