I am so sorry to hear of Shirley's passing. It was an honor to have her as my sister in law. She was a smart strong woman and I had the highest respect for her. I'm sorry I didn't see the notice sooner. The picture-video was beautiful. She will be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear of Shirley's passing. I was one of her drivers the past couple years and she was one of my favorite people! She had a wonderful sense of humor, loved her family, loved her squirrels and we had many great talks about her cats and the people who don't like them! I always got there a few minutes early so i could sit and pet her cat while we talked for a few minutes before she had to get going. I will miss her and hope she rests in peace.
