Shirley, you were a special person in my life, you were my mentor and my friend. You were always such a pleasure to be with. I will cherish my memories of the times you shared lovely stories of your family, how you would make the time to provide a listening ear when needed and how you always had the right words to say. Your generous heart and kindness will forever be appreciated. You will never be forgotten, I'll miss you Shirley.
