Not sure what to say?

Gina, thanks for your comments, and it has been nice to hear from you both online and by telephone. Mom's passing has been tough, but the numerous memories of her charity, kindness and warmth have, in paradoxical sense, made it a bit easier. Mom was truly a very special person who put others before herself, be it financial, emotional, or just giving of her time.

Dear Tom And Tim:
On behalf of the Montgomery family:

I made chili & cheeseburgers on the day of her service, June 29th, which was also my mothers...

I met Shirley thru pulmonary rehab and took an instant liking to her. She was just the kind of person that you felt you'd known her for years when you met her. My condolences to her family. I know this was a shock and a terrible loss for you as it is for everyone who knew her.

To the Gonder Family: Us here at Jim's Service Center send out our sincere conolences to your family and friends. We have gotten to know Shirley very well in the last ten years. Every holiday she would bring in cookies for us, along with a BIG smile and thank you's to all of us for keeping her car going. Always treats on the front seat to give to the dogs after the oil change (as they sat and waited for us to get done) What a wonderful, loveing and caring lady. We here are very sorry to hear...
