I met Shirley through the My League Gaming Site! From the very first day I met her she was the sweetest person. Everyone thought the world of her. I would always joke and make her laugh and I think it made both of our days. She is and always will be sadly missed. Rest In Peace my sweet lady until we reunite again.

I knew Shirley from a spades league. Shirley was the kindest, sweetest and most considerate lady that I have ever known. Shirley never missed greeting one single person. Shirley was always kind to everyone, but she was a beast at times when it came to playing spades. I always teased her when she would beat me. Everyone has already been missing Shirley and we were all so sad to hear the news of her passing. Shirley was one lovely lady and it was our pleasure to have known her. Prayers for your family in this time of sorrow.
