So very sorry for the Shirley Family's loss. I started attending Trinity Lutheran Church while he was there as I worked with Carol. All were blessed who knew them. God's peace be with you.

Pastor Shirley was our minister at Trinity Lutheran Church from 1991-2001. He was always upbeat, enthusiastic and fun to be around. But his deep faith and intelligence was an inspiration to us all. He was well loved by our congregation and will be deeply missed. Our love and condolences to Carol, Erik, Joel and family.

I was so sorry to hear of Craig's passing. He and I were close friends in high school. Had the opportunity to connect again when we moved to Michigan and Wisconsin. Our condolences to Carol and the family.
