I was shocked and very saddened to hear of Shirey’s passing. She was a good friend and we shared many hours with our common interest in crafts. She was much more talented than I but I learned a lot from her.
I will miss her. My hope for you is that the good memories will overcome the sad ones.

Zwicker family,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful mother with the rest of us. She was always ready for a talk, game of cribbage, cup of tea or a walk.
She had the strength of many, a sharpness of wit and the heart of a saint. We all share in your loss and grief.
Be at peace Shirley.
Love,

Our sincere condolences to your family,
I had only met your mom on several occasions but l knew and liked your brother Terry very much. I never saw him with out a smile and your mom’s smile could light up a room.My brother and your cousin Kevin have been the best of friends, more close than brothers since living on Waterloo St. Actually every one in our families were close. We know that she will be missed by not only all of you but Flo’s family as well esp Kevin.When ever he came to see mom he had always just left from visiting your mom. We pray that you will feel God’s presence as you grieve the loss of your loved one and find peace knowing she is reunited with her family in the Lord’s house. God bless. Zona , Don and our families
