So sorry to hear of Shirley’s passing. The sweetest woman I had in my life forever.
Hugs and prayers to each of you.
Shirley was the nicest person we have ever known. She had a great sense of humor and the most wonderful laugh. She was always kind and caring. Her faith easily inspired others. We loved Shirley and are going to miss her.
Shirley left her earthly family and is now reunited with her heavenly family. Our loss is Heaven’s gain. God is smiling.
