Shirley was my very first friend. Even though we didn't see one another much in our later years, we always remained connected through phone calls and an occasional visit. She was always cheerful and kind; a great problem solver. I offer my heartfelt condolences to her family and I share in their grief. I will miss you so much Shirley.

I offer sincere sympathy to the family. Shirley was a friend of mine from grammar school. We graduated from St. Columbanus togather many years ago. She was always the same sweet person that she always was. I will miss her and will pray for her.
With love
