Shirley was a woman who lived each day:
Treasuring her life's richness,
Bringing a smile to those who knew her,
Revealing simple genuiness to all she met,
Working hard for everything she had,
Cherishing her dear husband and children,
Appreciating all that she had to live for.

She made her family and friends feel so
fortunate to know and love her.

It will certainly send a tear down our
cheek as we remember her.

I’m sure that she misses her
dear family and friends already....

Upon her arrival in Heaven above,
God will be the benefactor of all
we have lost in her here below......

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you .......
