One of the most intelligent and versed women I have ever had the privilege to know, if even for but a moment. God's house is stronger with her presence. Our love and sincere condolences are with you all.

Liz, T.K. and family,
I was so saddened to hear about Shirley's passing. More memories than I can count as a child with both Shirley and Mammaw (Charlene). They were truly the picture of "life long girlfriends". Shirley will certainly be missed but boy oh boy the heveanly gifts stored-up for her! Your family will be in our prayers.
With much love,
Nick Frame, Jr. and family

Liz, T.K. and family,
It's hard to express the love that I had for your mom. You know Shirley was family, as you all still are. She was one of the greatest people I have ever known, not because of her caring nature or just "being nice", or her various accomplishments (there were many); it's that she had the selfless love that Christ commanded from us all. That is her best legacy.
Take pride in your mother.
God will be with you, and you are in my thoughts and prayers for...

Mrs. Lawless, what can I say, she was one of the best and one of my favorite people in the world. Loved our hat competitions when I was young and all the fond memories! She will be very missed here on earth, but I know she would not want us to have sad thoughts at this time, only happy memories! She is smiling down on us. So sorry TK & Lizfor your loss.

I have many happy memories of your sweet mother from John Knox Presbyterian to Samuell High School. She was a special lady with a wonderful personality. Doug and I feel lucky to have known and loved Shirley and Pete... Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Mrs. Lawless was a beautiful kind lovely lady that I could never forget. My condolences go out to her family. She was always so eager to greet me with a hug and kiss when I would come into the book store. I will never for get her. She was a dear friend of the family too. God Bless you and your family. She was an inspiration to all and she will continue to be.

To Liz and TK..
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. You know that she and your dad (Coach Lawless) held a special place in my heart.
May both of you gain comfort in knowing that they are at peace with each other and God.
