Paula and Family. I will never forget the wonderful smile Shirley willingly gave with her hugs. She always genuinely asked how we were, and meant it, not just to ask. She really wanted to know. We will miss our Christian Sister, and look forward to singing with her in Heaven.. I'm sure she sang with the choir Sunday.

Paula, Doug, and other family members - I am so sorry for your loss. Shirley was kind, and she enjoyed people. She liked to laugh. She loved Jesus her Savior. I'm glad I had the opportunity to know Shirley.
