We lived next door to her parents for many years and then Shirley moved in. We got to know Shirley and became friends. Shirley was a wonderful
Neighbor. We always sat outside together on Halloween passing out candy and talking. Shirley dressed up Lizzy like a witch. Shirley loved being outside, taking bike rides and taking Lizzy on car rides in her convertible. We really miss her. May she rest in peace along with her mom and dad.

From the first time I met Shirley, I noticed her touch of elegance, her sophistication and grace. She was a very hard working single mom that thought the sun rose and set in her daughter. This love for her family continued as she watched her grandchildren,Karina and Dylan, grow and her eyes would twinkle when she would talk about what the kids were up to now. It was enjoyable to watch her interact with her son in law Mark, and notice the adoration they had for each other.
Shirley was always a mom to me when Dar and I were growing up together. As life continued- Shirley became my friend...and a very special friend indeed. When we were together there was always joy and laughter in the house. Shirley made me smile-
What a blessing to be able to just hug her and visit a couple weeks ago- those memories will be held in my heart forever- it was a great day.
Shirley loved her home in Wayne Lakes, and she so deserved to enjoy her last years there with Cisco.
Thank you for being strong enough to tell me to get my act together, as well as to say you were so proud of my accomplishments.
I am very grateful for having you in my life, and I am better because of it.
All my love, Toni
