So sorry to hear of the passing of Shirley. I was so glad that we got to talk on the phone before Christmas. We were friends a long time and had many good times together. God Bless you Francis at this sad time.

I was glad to see that the obituary emphasized Shirley’s Catholic faith and practice.  I was epecially glad to see the words remembering her wonderful wrok at Evergreen and Conestoga.  She and her team were such a huge help to me during my years as Pastor at St. Anthony of Padua. Fr. Daniel Mitzel

I just heard of the passing of your loving wife, mother and my cousin Shirley. 
Although I have not been in contact with her for many, many years I have fond memories of our early childhood.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sorrowful time.
