    Sending sincere condolences to Shirley’s family. My son, Sean and I met Shirley through attendance at St. Mary’s Church, frequently sitting near each other and eventually introducing ourselves (I think that was at Walgreen’s where we were each shopping). She was always friendly and caring. May she rest in peace.

    Cousin Shirley, you were such a good, sweet, caring woman. When we visited in 2016, it was like we started right where we left off, back in 1979! You loved family so much and truly carried with you the real spirit of what being part of a family meant. Thank you for your love, time and joy. We will all miss you so much. Love and prayers to your beautiful family, I am so sorry for your loss. We all take comfort, knowing she is happy, healthy and enjoying heaven so much!
