My heartfelt condolences are offered to the family, many, many friends, colleagues and fans of Ms. Shirley Eikhard. Ms. Shirley Eikhard was a Canadian singer-songwriter who wrote “Something to Talk About” which became a hit song for Bonnie Raitt.

I am so sorry about the loss of Shirley. I love "let's give them something to talk about" as well as her beautiful voice. The family has my deepest condolences and I pray that you will be surrounded continuously with love and support. As you go through this difficult time, may Almighty God give you “everlasting comfort” (2 Thess. 2:16).

Shirley was a rare person with many talents. Her gift to me as a person was the true meaning of truth, friendship and artistic expression. Our paths crossed at a time we both needed a sincere connection and positive energy. She was full of determination and love. I feel so grateful to her that our paths crossed. Thou all too short of a time. I will treasure all my fond memories of her. She will always hold a space in my heart forever.
