I am so sorry to hear about Shirley. I played bean bag baseball with both Jerry and Shirley. She was such a hoot! Will certainly miss her sweet smile. But we all know where she is now, so we'll see her again someday.

I've known Shirley for about eight weeks via karaoke on Friday nights in Bono.
What a sweet personable lady she was. She had the prettiest eyes that seemed to dance with every smile. She seemed to love karaoke night. She'd dance when the right song hit her. I only wish I would have known her longer.
To her family I send heartfelt sympathy and I ask GOD to give them peace at this time and to help her husband recover soon.
I didn't know Shirley well, but I do know she was quite a special 'lil' lady. RiP Shirley.
