Dear Pat and Colleen,

I am so sorry I was out of town for Shirley's services. She will always remain that special, beautiful lady who was always dressed to the 9s!

Now Sarge, Billy and Shirley are reunited and praying for the rest of us.

I have wonderful memories of she and Pat living 3 doors down on Kostner. I will miss her!

All The Best,

Maureen Dalton
