Shirley was a friend of mine at Ladies Aid and in Bible Class on Sunday morning. When I met her in the hallway she always had a smile on her face and a big hug to share. I was out of state when Shirley died and didn't find out about it until this afternoon. I was shocked to hear of her passing. I will miss her greatly. Shirley was an exceptionally beautiful person, a good friend, a loving Christian lady.

AS one of our "regulars" at ReachOut, Shirley certainly leaves a void. I'm glad to have been counted as one of her friends. Carol

I've only known Shirley for a brief time but what I do know of her is that her religion was her world. She's with God now & when you look up she'll be the brightest star in the sky. My prayers go out to her family & friends.

Clark and I remember how Shirley always had a smile when she met us at the YMCA or Reach Out. Loved doing Bible Studies with her. Inez and Clark
