I am so sorry for your loss. I knew your mom growing up we lived a block over, she work in the Kwik Trip Commissary for my mom for some time and the best Subway worker they ever had. Shirley was always so nice to everyone and a very hard worker. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Brad so happy you brought her out to Aunt Mary’s funeral. So wonderful to see her. She was so feisty talking about her kids and how they would not let her travel. When I said”Sue do you think it is safe”. Why did I ask that. Your parents were some of my parents favorite family/ friends. They loved spending time with them. Know I am thinking of all of you,love you all so much and hope we can do a picnic somewhere soon in the future for the next generation.

It was a pleasure getting to know Shirley the past few months. I enjoyed talking with Shirley and seeing her snowman collection that she was so proud of.
My sincere condolences,

Sorry to hear of your loss. Shirley was a very sweet lady who brought kindness to those she met. We still have her little "notes" around the house with cleaning tips and such. God Bless.
