Shirley was a very nice great aunt and she always loved when I came to see her. It was fun spending time with her. I'm glad I got to know her. I will miss her.

My sincere sympathy is given to all Shirley's family. Shirley was one of the most elegant ladies i have met. She had an awsome sense of humor, and was always very gracious. she will be missed.

Aunt Shirley and Uncle Harry were second only to my parents in importance in my childhood. Together they were the most fun couple in the world. Separately, each one radiated unmatched warmth and charm.



Aunt Shirley was a gem. She was my mother’s best friend and our second mother. She was a down-to-earth, funny and classy lady, always upbeat and able to see the good in everyone and everything. I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with her loving family.

Shirley was the best possible aunt one can have. She was so close to my mother and the rest of my family that we looked at her as a second mother. She never hesitated to express her love and her presence made life easier. I will miss her so very much
