Roger and Ruby I was shocked and saddened to learn of Shirley’s passing. I’m so sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Despite her health issues Shirley always had a smile. She was a happy jolly lady. Heaven has another angel playing the clarinet in the heavenly band.

My Dear Friend, you are free of your pain, we all prayed for you to get well. That was not to be. you were so good to me during my Cancer, surgery, chemo, and radiation, and even Dr. appointments. I remember how, you laugh at my silly little saying and craziness. You always said I made your day. You are the sister I never had. So much fun, good times on our outings..I will never forget. We shall meet again. Rest in Peace. Till we met again LOVE,LOVE sweet friend.
