I remember when your parents brought you home from the hospital. A beautiful princess with beautiful blonde curls. As you grew the tomboy came out in you and boy did we pull some good jokes off. You will be missed by many, near and far.... our memories bring you back. RIP Shirley, you were loved. GOD be with you and your family at this time.

I sat on the sidelines of many a baseball and basketball game with Shirley cheering on our boys. Those days were some of the best! Shirley was a joy to be around. Family was everything to her and she shared those feelings with great enthusiasm. May the memories of your very special wife and mother bring you comfort and peace. Lou, Ashley and Anthony - I will keep you in my prayers at this sad time. Fondly, Pam Prettyman

Until then, keep all the fond and happy memories in your heart. God bless you Shirley and may you rest in peace. An old school friend, Nanci
