To the Family of Shirley Hamilton:
I was sorry to hear of the passing of Shirley. I will always remember her smiling face and the conversations we had when she was at Ochsner. Know that God will comfort you in those times when you get lonely and He will wipe away your tears. Cherish the warm memories that you have of time spent with Shirley. Know that you will see her again and until then she is resting in the arms of her Savior.
