Shirley was a devoted friend of mine and my entire family. Her heart was so loving and her spirit full of laughter and joy. She will be greatly missed in this earthly life. Knowing Shirley is now at peace, and no longer suffering, we take comfort that she is now at home with God in heaven. She will be waiting for us on that reunion day when we shall all meet againin His heavenly kingdom. (We look forward to seeing you later, Shirley.)
Shirley loved her family more than life itself. Whenever we spoke in recent years, she always spoke with such pride in her two sons, Mike and Matthew, and their families.
Thanks be to God for the life of Shirley L. Smith.
