We have all lost a very special part of our lives - a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend. Shirley will be missed by many as her Christian outreach has been widespread. Our loss is heaven's gain.
Stan and family, Our prayers are with you. Our hope is in our Savior, Christ Jesus, just as He rose, we too will rise on the last day. Your service to the Lord as a couple was an inspiration to us. We say, "Vaya con Dios, Shirley"
Joan and Gord La Salle first met Stan and Shirley through the Lion's Club in Woodstock. Years later Michelle was a Brownie with Joan as her Brown Owl. Both Joan and Gord enjoyed the friendship with Stan and Shirley. Shirley will be missed. Please accept our sincere condolences. Marg and Joan La Salle
