Shirley was a good and faithful servant of the Lord’s! Now she is in His gracious arms. So blessed to have known her!
Few words come close to expressing how treasured a Friend Shirley has been to me personally and to so many others. She held on to the promises of God and shared her faith often. Prayers will continue for each of her family, and what a blessing to realize that Shirley no longer suffers the constraints of an earthly body. With heartfelt sympathy, Mike & Linda
