My Aunt Shirl was one of the BEST. She was always too far away, but my love for her will never change. I will miss talking to her on the phone, but I know she is at peace now, and with my Mom and grandparents. Rest in peace Aunt Shirl, I will always love you.

As Mom said, Shirley's kids and my siblings went to the same schools, and other activities...as I grew up, I would take the time to go to her house, which was one street above ours, and we would sit and talk for hours, while she would show me the latest Avon products. She was a very good friend and I'll miss her dearly.

Shirley and I are cousins whom I remember when my parents used to go to Sunbury to visit her father, Uncle John Nale. We lost contact with Shirley until we got her computer and we exchanged e-mails for many years. She was a great and caring woman, who loved her family and all around her. Like my wife, also named Shirley, who was a Past Matron of Eastern Star, they shared a common Masonic related interest. God bless her, she will be missed.

Shirley and I were cousins - born just months apart. Although we have not met since we were children, we had exchanged mail and cards. Her passing is a real and sobering surprise. I wish to extend my respects to the family and wish them well. This was a good person.

Shirley was my Junior Girl Scout leader as well as our Avon lady and a great friend. She always had such a good sense of humor.
Please accept my My condolences. She will be sadly missed, but we know she's in the arms of her savior and feeling no more pain.
