Shirley & Dennis were like family to me once up a time. He was my daughter's godfather. I regret having lost touch with them and the girls. Life's circumstances change.

Stacey, Suzanne & Family.....My deepest sympathies on Shirley's passing. Many great memories of what seems like yesterday and many years ago at the same time. We all lost touch over the years as often does happen in life. But I remember both Shirley & Dennis with the greatest of love and fondness.

To Stacy , Suzanne and family,
Shirley may be gone from this life but never to be forgotten. After Dennys passing she always remembered to contact us on the holidays in an effort to stay in touch. Our prayers are with you during this most difficult time and we will always honor Shirleys memory. God bless.

My deepest sympathy to Stacy and Suzanne.
Shirley was a great person to know. She always had a smile on her face.
I feel privileged to speaking to her a week before the good Lord took her into his arms.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
RIP Shirley and my God Bless.

Shirley has left her own special mark on the hearts of those blessed with her friendship. From the happy day we met 45+ years ago, to this heartbreaking moment, Shirley proved herself to be a kind, wise, loyal and caring friend. Her love for her amazing daughters is eternal, and hopefully will be an ongoing comfort. Shirley selflessly shared so much of her goodness with us in life that we will have a bond with her forever.
