Tom,
I am so sorry for your loss. Shirley and I went to school together from the first grade. I just found out today about her passing. I am so sorry I didn't know and missed the memorial service. I know that God is very close to you at this time of your loss. We have that blessed hope that we will see her again when Jesus comes.

Tom: My heart is breaking for your loss, I never met Shirley but I am sure from looking at her picture that she was very happy and beautiful. I pray at this time that God wraps his arms around you and strenghtens you in this time of great loss for you. My heart also goes out to her family. Aunt Flo is deeply sad for your loss also.

Dear Tom,Carolyn, and families...
It is with such a heavy heavy heart that we heard of Shirley's passing. She was what you called a "wonderful, caring and loving friend". We had so many wonderful times together when we first lived across the street from you and even after you moved out of the neighborhood. That friendship was something that we will always treasure. We just cant say enough about Shirley. She was such a wonderful person and friend always smiling and willing to help you if you ever needed it. She had a good ear for listening and a good shoulder to cry on...she was just the best! We will miss her terribly but she will forever live on in our hearts.
Rest in peace our dear friend. I know that you are with God and safe and looking down upon all of us and keeping watch over us.
Our deepest sympathies to all of you.

Our hearts are heavy over the sudden loss of Shirley. She was a wonderful friend and sister-in-law and will be greatly missed. She was always there for friends and family with a smile, a kind word, a sense of humor, and a listening heart. We have many wonderful memories of times shared through the years. My heart goes out to you, Tom, in the loss of your wife, and to her sister Carolyn, who will also miss her so much.

Dear Tom and Family,
Shirley was always such a kind and caring person. From the first day I met her 6 years ago when I came to Medwise, she was always so happy and upbeat, and made me feel welcomed. I feel very blessed to have known her and that I was able to spend some quality time with the two of you. I will greatly miss her.

Shirley's sweet,compassionate character will always remain with us. Shirley was dedicated and responsible. She was a wonderful example to others. I was blessed to have her as a sister-in-law. What a glorious day when will see so many of our loved ones again. I pray for the peace that only God can give you during this time.

I knew Shirley only professionally and she was always compassionate, upbeat, comforting and understanding. I always scheduled my tests with her, and worked my schedule so that I was assured that she would be the tech performing my tests. I was so sad when she left RMC and sadder still to learn of her passing. While I am not a family member or a family friend, I think it's important for you all to know how far Shirley's kindness reached beyond family and friends. My kindest thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. She will be missed.
