Gary --

Although I haven't seen you or your family since you , Walter and myself were running through junior high school I often thought of you. I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your Friend Always -

Hello Rathbun family,
After reviewing other guest book entries I can see that I was not the only recipient of Shirley's amazing talent for finding family members. The term 'powerhouse' would not adequately describe the energy, entusiasm and inspiration of this incredible researcher. We called her 'Kiprosoff' because, like the goalie who always gave you a chance to win, if there was a record, Shirley always seemed able to find it. I lamented being called to work with the youth of our church...

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I worked with Shirley at the Greenhalge School. She was a wonderful person to work with. I am very sorry I missed her wake. I would have liked to express this in person.

Pastor Bob and family,
We were sorry to learn of Shirley's passing. Heaven is richer now, but earth is poorer. May God's comfort and peace enfold you now and in the days ahead.

I just learned of Shirley's passing and am so sorry. She will have a special place in Heaven. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry to have missed the services for they must have been beautiful.

Dear Pastor, I'm so sorry, my prayers are with you. Shirley was a wonderful friend to my mother.

Gary...sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I havent seen you in years but... I can't forget a good friend. Peace be with you and your family...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Our condolences to the family
