To all the Finch family members, my deep sympathy. I will always treasure the fact that Shirley played the organ at my wedding in 1982. She was a wonderful mother-in-law to my brother Jim, and a great comfort to me when Jim passed away. You were surely blessed to have your angel with you for such a long life!
