Your mother will be greatly missed; may you be comforted by your many memories of her and with her. Mothers never really leave us. They are always with us, and we hope that gives you some small comfort during this difficult time. Thinking of you and your family. Our deepest sympathy.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. Shirley was a person that brightened every room she entered and filled it with love. Take comfort in the words of the Apostle, John, “So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.” -John 16:22

Shirly,
My heart is heavy, but I can't help but smile when I remember all the laughs we had about the kids and their wild antics. Your face would light up every time we talked about them. Our family won't be the same without you.

Aunt Shirl, I will forever remember your kindness to all. Rest in peace and give Uncle Ron a hug from me.

I love this picture of Shirley! It is the happiest, most carefree, picture of her i have ever seen. What a wonderful way to remember her; free of pain and worry and enjoying life. I will always remember our trip to Ireland. So glad we were able to spend that extended time together with your help. I know there will always be a big empty spot in your future family gatherings, but she will be there in spirit. It has been a blessing to share family with you.
