Time moves forward and we do as well but it still never fills the void that a lost loved one makes.

I worked with Shirley at Indiana Bell/Ameritech for many years. She was my supervisor for a number of years too. She always had a smile on her face and had time for you. Shirley was one of the sweetest ladies I have met and her genuine kindness and concern for people was touching. Shirley was a very special person and I pray your memories of her will help you through this sad journey. May God give you all comfort and peace.

What a beautiful lady. I met Shirley on my first day of work at Indiana Bell.
Shirley worked in CPC Answer Point with Tom Lane and John Combs.
Shirley always had such genuine kindness and a sensitive spirit that she made a new kid on the block feel welcome.
Shirley treated each person with love and respect.
It was an honor to know her.

Aunt Shirley was one of the sweetest ladies I ever knew. She was always interested in what you were doing, how you were doing, and what was going on with you and in your life. I never saw her angry or hear her raise her voice. She was kind and I always enjoyed going to her house to visit. Many games were played and fun was had at my aunts home. I loved her and will miss her terribly.
