Shirley’s Cousins and Friends held no title other than Family and she made sure they received the same love and attention regardless of position or name.
LIFE! LOVE! LOYALTY! If you knew Shirley those words will make you stop in your tracks to tell a story about what Shirley meant to you. Shirley followed no one, rather she led her Family and Friends on a First Class journey filled with laughter and passion.

The Family extends their gratitude to Healthcare Professionals who cared for her, her Employer, Co-Workers, Friends and Family who traveled from near and far to be with Shirley during her final earthly days.
