I will miss Shirley for her sweet and giving spirit. For so many years I looked forward to August when Shirley would host the Creef family reunion at her home.
My husband and I would travel from Massachusetts, sometimes with our children, later with grandchildren. We all have memories of the fun times at those reunions. To Ranson, Donald, Eddie Don and Gloria, her nieces and nephews and the many children she cared for in her home over the years, please accept my condolences. May it bring you comfort knowing Shirley loved the Lord and is now in his presence. Of that I am sure!
