Shirley's son Patrick was good friends with my son in elementary school. I saw the love and kindness she showed to her children. She was very protective of them, so I felt it
was an honor when she trusted me to care for Patrick when he spent the night with us and joined us for fun events. She was so loving and kind. My heart is with the family and all who knew and loved Shirley. She was steadfast in her faith in God and love for her family and friends. I will always remember Shirley as a beautiful person, mother, caregiver, and friend.
