I always enjoyed a conversation with Shirley, she had a very happy way and a lovely smile
We were so shocked to receive Mark's phone call! Our love to all & wish we could be there. Rest in peace Shirley.
I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Shirley's sudden passing. Sending most sincere condolences to you Bob, and to Brenda, Grant and Mark. Shirley and I went through both Public and High School together in Blind River, and kept in contact over the years through Christmas letters. When my late husband and I moved to London, Shirley was the first person to phone and welcome us here. We continued our friendship and were looking forward to getting together again this month. She was a wonderful person and I know she will be sadly missed by so many. Rest in peace my friend.
