My Deepest Condolences to the entire McGue Family. Shirley McGue will always hold a special place in my heart. She was like another mother to me. We used to have coffee chats all the time and solve the world problems. I will cherish all of the great memories we had for the rest of my life. She is now with Tom and bless them dearly.

We have the best memories of Shirley, especially during the
Springbrook Pool days. She was loved by my
parents, Mike and Sue Bender, and as children, we knew not to break any of the Springbrook Pool
Rules, or there would be heck to pay.
We send our thoughts
and prayers to her family,
during this difficult time.
Please know that Shirley
meant a great deal to all
of us.
Sincerely,
Mike, Laura, Deron and Angela Bender
