      May loving memories soften the sadness of your loss, and grace and gratitude ease the pain of the grief on your hearts. Shirley’s kindness touched many lives; she was an earth Angel.
      Many years ago Shirley, Mike, Rose and Kris ‘fostered’ me in perfect Divine timing. I’ve never forgotten baking little chocolate chip cookies, playing chess with Mike, denting the car fender backing out of the garage, and all the late night girl talk with two of the best friends ever! I am eternally grateful. Sending love and light and prayers.
