Shirley was a wonderful addition to our Adams family. I loved visiting her up the street on 15th and playing with baby, Brad. Cherished memories.

I was so sorry to hear about Shirley when I went to Park Terrace to see my husband (Col.). No more suffering and we know she is with our Lord and in a better place. Shirley was a sweet lady and said a lot of funny things. We will miss seeing her. My sympathy to her entire family. Her sister was special and should be proud of herself for all the visits.x
