Sympathies extended to Shirley's family. I will miss seeing her in the early service at High Street Methodist.

Linda and John...

I am so very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Shirley was a wonderful woman and loving mother. I have the fondest of memories of her when she worked at the store with my mom and Janie Griffin. I know she will surely be missed by all who knew her. I hope that you and John can find peace in knowing that she is now being cradled in the arms of Christ, being reassured of a job well done.

May God bless you during this hard time.
