May our Lord be with you for ever more .

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.

My thoughts and prayers are with you always, Jody Kougl Lindstrom

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.

We are so sorry to learn of Craig's passing. He was such a kind and caring man and loved by all. Keeping the Shirley family in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi Carol. Just to let you know you are in our hearts and prayers. John Hill

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.

Thankful for knowing Craig, and all the lives he touched. His memories are cherished.
