Dear Bill - Like so many, I am shocked at Shirl's passing so suddenly. But, what a sweet comfort to you all to know she is in the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, healed of all afflictions and praising Jesus for all He meant to her in this life. I will never forget her faithful attendance at The Orchard E.V. Free church activities and her telling anyone in need that she would be praying for them (and I know she did just that). My last conversation with her was last Thursday at Faith for Life where she said she would be praying for my surgery on Tuesday. Because of that, I am sad that I won't be able to attend what will be a sweet service in memory of a great lady. May you feel God's arms giving you his strength and peace. Fondly, Beth
