Not sure what to say?

May God be with you during your season of grief. We hadn't visited with Shirley for many years, but remember her vitality and wonderful sense of humor.

We will miss Aunt Shirley so much. She always made us feel so welcome, so special...as though there was nothing she wanted more than to have one of those big family get-togethers (and feasts!) for us when we came to visit. I didn't realize what a trail-blazer she was until I was out working in the real world. All I knew was how warm and funny and bright she was. I thought she was a movie star when I was little, she was so glamourous and beautiful.

What a wonderful, wonderful...

We were so sorry to hear about Shirley's passing --we visited her a few times in Bellingham on our trips to Vancouver to visit with Bev and Philip. We are so thankful to her for sponsoring David to come to the States from Halifax in 1963. Such a very friendly and interesting person. We are sending all the family our sympathies ---

Our beautiful "Favorite Aunt Shirley" left us all with wonderful memories. We will miss her smiles, laughter and warm loving personality that made us all believe we were her favorite as well. We are all better for knowing this remarkable woman. She will forever be in our hearts, minds and loved always.
Phyllis, Laurie, Dave (Brenda), and Jennifer

Our prayers go out to the Family.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
