Our neighbor Shirley was a lovely, friendly lady to us. I did after school care for her daughter for a few years. Gone too soon and she is missed.

I am so lucky to be one of Shirley's friends. She was always fun to hang out with and she's willing to share all the good and the bad in her life to her dear friends. I will miss her dearly. It was a fortunate opportunity to see her and was able to say goodbye to her few days before she passed away. May God bless her beautiful and loving soul.

My condolences to Shirley's entire family. Although I only communicated with Shirley via e-mail for the THS website, her words were always kind and friendly. After following Crystal's journal during Shirley's fight, it was evident to see that she was a very special woman and had touched many many people.

Shirley touched all of us who knew her. Always with a smile on her face and a willingness to help others. It is an honor to have called her my friend.
