Our family deeply regrets this final farewell to our wonderful neighbour, Shirley, who lived next door to us in Port Joli Harbour the past thirty years. Shirley was unfailingly gracious, thoughtful, and kind to our whole family. We have lost a dear friend, but the memory of her welcoming smile, her beautiful gardens and her love of this unique place on the St. Catherine’s River Road are all very real to us.
Sincerely,
Basil, Bette (Verge) and Tara Hanrahan
