I am fortunate to have been a part of Shirley's extended family and will always cherish her humor, stories and cheerful laugh. Most of all, however, I will remember her for sharing her Christian faith with me and being such an inspiration. Shirley will always be thought of with a smile because of the joy she brought to my life and so many others.

I am so sorry to read of your mother's death. What a wonderful woman she was and how I enjoyed working with her at Christ the King. Her sense of humor was superb and she saw goodness in everyone. I think of her and those years often.
My prayers are for your comfort and peace in coming to grips with this terrible loss; she has reached hers.
Sincerely,
