I spent a lot of years with Shirley at Bux-Mont, that´s where we met. I was part of Shirley´s Monday evening Bible study group. We were in choir together and worked VBS. You always knew where you stood with Shirley because she would let you know. She spoke her mind but her heart was always in the right place. She was also a generous person and she loved her indoor pets and her outside critters! Shirley you will be missed.
