Her and David were the best neighbors anybody could have. Always having us over for pot pie, chili and a good card game. Or just to visit. We know they will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Sheri, Rick, and family, I am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful friend and we had a lot of precious times together. Shirley and David are together with the Lord.

Sheri and family, Sincere condolences, thoughts, and prayers to you and the family. Your mother and father were two of the nicest people we knew. We still have a few mason jars filled with red beets, pickles, and at least one of chow chow. We were honored to be at their special wedding anniversary celebrations. Kindness began in their home. May Shirley and David enjoy heaven.
