Pat, and girls, I am so sorry for your loss. There is nothing one can say to take away the pain, but know that you have so many friends praying for your healing. Shirley was so kind to everyone and a great mother. I did enjoy visiting with her in Walmart and with the girls. I have many good memories of the girls at ccd and youth ministry. If you or the girls need anything that I can do please let me know.God Bless.

I have fond memories of Darlene from when I was a kid, she was always nice to me. She had a silver certificate in a frame on her bedroom wall & I asked her & she told me about it. When I grew up & got a job where I handled money I would always look for them to come thru & buy them because of her.

Praying for the family. Praying that the Lord heals all broken hearts. Shirley will be deeply missed. I loved the hello's, talks and catch-ups we had when passing by the vision center. I was in there yesterday and felt heavy for a reason. I always would say hi to her. Missing her, Shannon.

God has received a very special Angel. Shirley was such a sweet person, always a smile on her face and never a harsh word for anyone. Anytime we saw each other we would catch up on our kids. She will be greatly missed. May God shed his grace on the family and help them through this.
