Shirley…what a wonderful lady she was . She mentored me to feel confident in my singing and we enjoyed many years singing together in the CCC choir back in the day. Shirley was always one to speak her mind. She often times would tell me “it’s time for a haircut!” She will be missed, but she left her mark. Love and prayers to the family.
What a special Lady,, she loved the Lord and was a messenger for HIM here on earth… Many fun times with Shirley and Dick.. She is one that makes me look foreward to our eternal home…. Prayers for peace and comfort for those left behind…. Love you Shirley
