Wayne, Ginger & Family,
Shirley was such a special person and a fun neighbor to hang out with. She was always avaiable for me to vent my frustrations as well as share good times with and of course I'm gonna miss those calls "Steve, will you come over here and fix this" LOL.. I loved her as you know and can't wait to see her in Heaven someday. She loved her family so much and I'm sure you are very proud of that, Thoughts & Prayers are with you all from me, Barb, my Mom & everyone!!

Ginger & Wayne,
So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Mom called me last night and told me. We will not be able to make it to the funeral but please know our hearts are with you during this time. I can't apoligize enough in finding out so late and not being able to be there for you all. Shirley was a true good friend of mom's and the families. This was an era in our lives that will never be forgotten. I hope the Lord will find a way to bring you all peace. May God bless you all. Love you all so much!!!

Dear family, Shirley was such a sweet lady. We did aerobics at Lancerlot and teased each other about all the Shirley's in class. Her pleasant smile will remain in my thoughts for ever so long. She so loved her family and you were good to her in return.
