My deepest sympathy to the girls and their families. It's always hard to loose someone you care so much about and your mom was one that everyone cared about because she cared for everyone herself. She was there for a kind word, a hug, or maybe just a smile. Thank God for people like her. Remember the good times and hold them close to your hearts. The best to all of you. Love and condolences from our family, Dawn (morgan) & Rick Cornwell, Steven & Gina Morgan (Anthony, Zachery, Tyler), Scott Morgan (Jacqueline), James & Ruth Morgan

I am so very sad for all of you. I know how close each and every one of you were to your mom and it is never easy to say goodbye. I know she would want all of you to be at peace knowing she is no longer in pain. I love you all and have the fondest memories of your family.

My sympathies to the Weil family. Shirley was a wonderful, compassionate woman. I loved my many trips to the Corner Store over the years and genuinely enjoyed my conversations with Shirley and Harold. God Bless.
