I worked with Shirley at Hospice and was blessed with her being a very dear friend. We shared many giggles and laughs. She was a wonderful person. I loved seeing the slide of pictures of Shirley throughout the years she was beautiful inside and out...... I am thankful to have been blessed with her friendship...... Prayers to her family for comfort in the days to come.
