Shirley was truly a dear friend from my early days at city hall. She was a dedicated worker who knew how to treat everyone right. She will be missed.

My heart is so heavy. I called her Shirl....but she was known as Mrs. Shirley.....i worked in the Marshal´s Office and she worked in Hammond city Court. She was a mentor to me but more importantly she was a friend. Rest in peace sweet Shirl, until we meet again. Hugs and prayers to her precious family !!!!
