Kenny I am so sorry to hear of Shirleys passing. She was one of those "special people" whom makes an impression on everyone she met. We sure did have some good talks @ Crest & I found myself very fond of her. She was such a good person and always knew who her real friends were. I will keep the family in my prayers & hope God eases your hearts......Sissy-

I remember Shirley fondly from my years at Crest. She was a wonderful person to know. My thoughts are with her family in their time of sorrow.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Shirley's family at this time of loss. Many of us @ Crest considered Shirley part of our family as well. We heard many stories about Little T and Ashley as we worked together over the years. We have missed her smile here and know that she is going to be missed by her loved ones . May God be with you always
