So sorry for the lost of such a beautiful lady. I met her at the American Legion in Pulaski, when I use to work there. Ed and her talked to me about their camp (summer home) on Lake Ontario. They were a lovely couple. R.I.P. Shirley, Ed and you are together again.

Shirley, it was a privilege to know you! You were a lovely, gracious lady, and I am going to miss waving to you each morning and visiting with Miss Lily and you. My condolences to your family. They are in my thoughts and prayers.

I just saw the obituary for Shirley in the paper, and I'm sorry that she's gone! I am glad that she enjoyed so many years with Ed; they used to visit my parents and me before they moved to Florida, and they were both such lovely people. My prayers and sympathies to all of you in the family. Love--Marie Lamb (Evie's daughter)
