Chris, Scott and families. I was saddened to read of the passing of Shirley and it seems like yesterday we were Bright Street neighbours. She was always a pleasure to chat with and I loved her laugh. May she now rest and your memories be as wonderful as mine are. Respectfully yours

My darling Scott and Chris, Marnie and Trace, Your mom was such a warm and caring woman. She also had a wonderful sense of humour. Although she was a little lady, Shirley had a big personality. I was fortunate enough to listen to her tell me numerous stories about you four kids. Her love for all of you was endless. I feel very fortunate to have spent a little time with her. I wish I could have known her longer. She made some wonderful children and grandchildren. Darlene xo
