So sorry to hear of the passing of Shirley. I worked with her in GE and I was also happy to see her and talk to her at Bellamy Fields while visiting my dad. She was such a nice, sweet and happy lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Penny, JoAnne, Brad, Paul and the rest of the family. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you all of you in this time of loss and sadness. Mrs. Cox was a dear friend of our family for many years. I loved coming to her house on Salmon Falls road when I was young. Her little green mustang she placed pedal to the metal and loved to shop. Mrs. Cox always wore high heel shoes, and a whole lot of laughter, love inside. After Ernie passed she kept her friendship strong w my dad/mom and family. She will always have a special place in my heart as she is Mrs. Cox! RIP Mrs. Cox.
