Shirley Hughes

To the family, many, many friends, colleagues and fans of this wonderful woman Ms. Shirley Hughes fine comfort with you during this difficult time in your lives. We will missed Ms. Shirley Hughes' presence and her many contributions to her community in children's literature. She was a British children’s author and illustrator known for “Dogger” and the “Alfie” series. May the love and the special memory you shared and cherish with her show just how much your life was touched by her. May you...

Such a wonderfully talented writer that brought such happiness to so many children with her books. Many prayers for the Hughes family, so very sorry for your loss.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

WE CAN DO ANYTHING*
(in memory of Shirley Hughes, 1927-2022)
by Ruth Esther Gilmore


We can do great acts
of kindness if we have peace
with everybody

we are capable
of erasing poverty
and intolerance

we can build bridges
to lead us over borders
and all boundaries

we can lessen pain
and eradicate sickness
and improve our world

with peace in our hearts
and hatred...

An amazing writer that gave so many children joy for so many years. Sincere condolences to the the Hughes family, may God be with you.

R.I.P. I enjoyed her books as a child
