I am so sorry to all of Shirley's family and friends. This woman was a strong, hard working woman and I know she will be missed by all. I also am so sorry that I was unable to attend the visitation due to work. So glad to have known her as minimal as it was through different family members.

I viewed the video, what a wonderful tribute to your mom and your entire family. All that I could think of was how happy Palsy must be to have Shirley once again tucked under his arm, close to his side and how comfortable Shirley is being there. Comfort and peace to all of you.
