Shirley was a beautiful example of what a Wife and Mother should look like… Kind, caring, loving,giving and sooo patient! Her smile was one of the most gentle and comforting smiles of anyone I’ve ever known…
She always treated me and my family as part of her family I will always remember her telling me that I was like a daughter to her…
She was always so happy to see me and my family….she would always hug me and tell me she loved me. Jimmy always loves us the same…two people I admire and love so very much! Jimmy and Shirley are proof of true love that grew stronger through the good,bad,and even the ugly we all experience in life at times…
Becky you are my best friend my sister. . I know this is so hard to take in and to understand and probably never will..but please know that Jesus is with her and you and your family he never leaves us he loves you and your family she is safe with him now….
What a gift you had in your mom something that you can cherish and keep close in your heart the rest of your life…she still lives in your heart and in the memories you share.
We love you all very much and will always be here for you all…Shirley will be so missed… please know of our continued prayers for Shirley and you all each and everyday. Its times like these that bring us closer then ever before….
With so much love and sympathy…
May God bring peace,comfort, and rest to you during this difficult time..

Dear Jimmy and family, I am so sorry for your loss! Shirley was a kind and wonderful person with a beautiful soul. She will be missed.
Jimmy and Family: So sorry to hear about Shirley’s passing. Take care. God Bless.
I want to express my condolence to you in reference to the loss of your love one, Shirley. I, too, have experienced losing family and friends. Talking about and having fond memories will help ease the pain. However, what is most helpful to me is the Bible promise of the resurrection. (John 5:28,29) Yes, I look forward to the future earthly paradise that’s fast approaching. Death will be no more! (Revelation 21:3,4) If you would like to learn more on this subjece or have other Bible questions answered, please go to jw.org. Peace to you all.
