Expressing sympathy is always difficult, but all I can say is how sorry I am at the loss of such a warm and generous woman. She was a good friend to my own mother and always kind to us growing up. Know that I am sharing in your sorrow and offering my deepest sympathy.

I am so sorry for the loss that you and yours are experiencing at this time. My thoughts are with you. Thank you for sharing Shirley with me and allowing me the opportunity to get to know her and care for her prior to her passing. She appeared to be a strong presense and had a huge heart especially for her family. I was extreemly touched by the relationship of her and Mario and the love they had for one another right up until the end. Strength, love and peace to you all. May peace fill your hearts.
