Frank, Margaret Ann & Family…..I am very saddened to hear of Shirley’s passing. As you know, Shirley and I worked together for several years at the former Town Hall on Main Street and we shared a lot of laughs and good times. She loved her children and grandchildren very much and spoke of them often. Christmas was the best…Shirley loved buying gifts for her family. I hope you all can find peace and comfort in each other and in your friends and loved ones who surround you during this sad time. I know the many happy memories of Shirley will forever be in your hearts. Shirley, may you Rest in Peace.

I am so sorry to read about the passing of Shirley. It sounds like she lived a full life. May you take comfort in God’s promise found in the Bible: “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34:18) It is comforting to know that God has promised a resurrection hope! (John 5:28, 29)
