To Fred and other members of Shirlene's family,
It was so sad to learn of Shirlene's passing. We were just together on a "Big Chuck" bus trip with Eastern Travel in October. She was always so pleasant when we shared a little conversation.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Fred and family - what a shock to read of Shirlene passing. I loved to see you two always at the St. Mary's dinners or about town. My condolence to the family. Please let her mother know I am thinking of her also. I know she will be missed by everyone.

Shirlene was one of my favorite people. We shared our love of all things Derek Jeter and Yankees baseball, but the thing she loved and enjoyed the most was showing me new photos of her grandbabies and her family. She loved you all deeply, and I know that she will continue to love and watch over you always. I am so sorry for your heartache and loss, but know that you will always cherish the wonderful time you had with her - you were all truly blessed.
