I was so saddened to read of Shirley’s death. What a popular friend from Castlemore. Walking down the Gore Rd from school, riding the bus, and those baseball games. She made everything so much fun. She will be missed.

To all that loved Shirley, my heart goes out to you as I know this world has lost a wonderful, loving woman. I realize we say “lost” as she is not physically with us but she isnt lost to us and isnt gone as her spirit lives on in her children’s children. We did not loose her, we won a gift in knowing Shirley as she shared the strength of her experience and wisdom even with new friends. I am forever grateful for what I’ve learned from her life and also for her daughter, my dear friend, Jodi. Thank you to Shirley xo

My deepest and heart felt condolences. Shirley was a wonderful woman. She always had a smile and could always keep the conversation going. I loved hearing of family history. She always looked at the bright side and not dwelled on the negative, her strong, positive outlook on life was an inspiration. My thoughts and prayers to all of Shirley’s family and loved ones during this time. Much love Paula. xo

Perhaps they are not stars in the sky,
