Paul, just now have seen the the notice of Shirley's passing. What a beautiful soul and wonderful woman she was. She radiated the joy of Christ. So thankful for the time spent with you, Shirley and our time at Spurgeon. My deepest sympathy to you and the family.

My dear Shirley was such an inspiration. She never missed an opportunity to share about Jesus, in her music or at lunch in the local restaurant. My special memories were the cantatas we'd perform and the hours spent in preparation and fellowship! Pastor Lawson I honor her memory and your legacy as you led many to Christ. My heart is better for having had you two in my life. May God continue to uphold you in the days, weeks and months ahead. Your son in Christ.

Dr. Lawson , So sorry for your loss Shirley was a beautiful person inside and out. She had the voice of an angel. Think about you often.GOD BLESS.

From the age of 5, Ms. Shirley taught me how to sing, she taught me how to harmonize, and most importantly she taught me how to look good doing it. Thank you Ms. Shirley for all the love, the hugs, and the laughs.

Shirley was such a sweet, loving woman. When she and Dr. Lawson were at Calvary Baptist Church in Newport News, I learned a lot about her loving spirit. I usually sat with her in the congregation, & she always told me she loved me. I enjoyed having her & Dr Lawson over for many Thanksgiving dinners. She was very special and I know she'll be missed by many! James and I love you, Dr Lawson, and we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers!
