To our very close friend. We will miss her deeply.

I had the pleasure of working with Shirley many years ago at HV Collins Company. She was a kind and warm woman who loved life and the loves of her life…her children and grandchildren. She is now reunited with her beloved Margie. God speed and rest well, Shirley.
Shirley will be missed by me no more phone calls or going out for lunch. You are all in my prayers, sorry for your loss.
Carl and I have fond memories of Shirley. We send you our condolences.
