Not sure what to say?

through Peace Corps India we met. You and Ron have a unique love story and your quest to find family information in the British archives was admired. Ron reach out to your friend Denis Viri or me. We have been trying to reach you over the past many months. I was happy we could meet in Portland a few years ago. Shirley´s history is fascinating and should not be lost. You need to write it up for a journal.

Sorry we have lost a lovely and engaging friend. Our sympathies to Ron and family for your loss.

Dear dear Shirley, you have touched the lives of all who had the opportunity of knowing and spending such treasured times with you. On behalf of all your friends, here in England, Ireland and Jersey, we miss you and will always remember the good times we shared. Rest in peace, dear friend.

Was so proud to call Shirley my big sister! I will miss going down memory lane with her and having a good laugh at the funny things we did as kids. Not forgetting what an awesome musician she was, she could play the piano and the accordion and make it look so easy!! Will miss my sister so much but will have a special place in my heart forever! Love Ruts ( Ruthie)

To a wonderful friend who was an amazing person. She was an incredible nurse respected by the people with whom she worked. She loved travelling and found great pleasure in the places she visited and the people she met. She had a sense of humour that would reduce us to tears of laughter. She would arrange for us to visit weird and wonderful places and somehow we´d end up at a pub afterwards. Odd, bearing in mind that many of us either didn´t drink or couldn´t afford to! Her passing has left...
