Aunt Shirley, you are in our heart and in our prayers. You will be always remembered as a smart, bright, compassionate, kind, and loving person. Most importantly part of you remains in all of us that you have touched and with whom you have shared your life. We, your family, will miss you dearly, but will cherish you always.

My most sincere condolences to Shirley's family. She was quite a lady and I feel honored to have had the opportunity of working with her. Although we had lost touch in later years, I have and always will have the utmost love and respect for her!

I will always remember Shirley as a fighter not only in her personal life but professional as well. I worked with her for over 20 years advocating for transportation services for those who had no other form of mobility. Florida has lost a great person but we will always cherish our memories of Shirley. May she rest in peace.
