Dear Tina,And you're whole Family, Many of you I have not had the pleasure to meet, but the time that I have spent with the ones that I have meet and that included Shirley have been pleasurable times and that speaks to a Loving Mother who was proud of her family and talked so well of all of you. I have spent many hours with Tina and Ernie and have talked with Caryl and keith and know how much you all showed her how much she was LOVED and Cherrished. I am so sorry for you're loss, and hope that you will be comforted by each other as you're Mother would want and know that she will always be that Angel looking down on you. God Bless.

I wish to express my condolences to all of the family. I always thought Shirley was such a beautiful person inside and out. I'm so sorry that she passed away. I saw her about a year ago and she still looked amazing. May she rest in peace.
