Shirley Jean Norton 11/24/54 ~ 11/18/02 Shirley, you missed your 48th birthday by six days. You are loved and will be missed by everyone that had the privilege of knowing you, and being inspired by you.

You lived your life to its fullest. Your dog Zombie loves you and misses you. He is OK. We are proud of your accomplishments. We would like to thank the doctors and staff who took such great care of you. We love you and will miss you.

Rest in peace!!! You were the salt of this earth.... Not for the monetary either, for saying how those kids truly made you feel all those years later... that was CLASS ACT!!! Rest well! I strive to have energy like you embodied in this life! Thank you you made my day!

I just watched a touching video on tiktok about a letter you left for Jenny and Todd after you past away. The monetary gift you left each of them was lovely but the true gift was the letter you included. I´m so glad they remembered you and were touched by your gift and letter. You sound like you were a wonderful person.
