TO SHIRLEY’s daughters & family

I was so sorry to read about your mother. We might not have talked oft but she had been my friend for a long time, even back to Baltimore. She was much loved and will be greatly miss by me and many others. She was not only a great friend but I also know a wonderful mother. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Family of Shirley,

I was very saddened to learn of Shirley’s demise. I thought the world of her and we had many good times together. Unfortunately I have been under the weather lately but she has always been on my mind, believe me.

She is a big loss to all of you and will be missed.

God bless,
Carol Abicht
