My sincerest condolences to Shirley's family. She was a very close friend of my mother Celia(Babs). She was a very gracious lady and a pleasure to know and to be in her company. I am very sorry to hear of her passing.
I pray that precious loving memories soften the hurt of your loss.
May she rest in eternal peace.
God Bless,
Terry Grigg
