We are so sorry! We hope that you can take a little time to reflect on the happiness that your family has experienced over the years when you think of your Mom (and Dad!)
Sue…So very very sorry to hear of Shirley’s passing. John and I are thinking of you, your family, and Molly too!
Susi, my heart goes out to you, to loose a parent is to be ‘orphaned’ in the most unpleasant sense of the word. I am so sorry this has come to you so suddenly, thinking of you and praying for you to have strenght to face this loss. Maria

Jim, my deepest sympathy is extended to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Kim
I only met your mom once, but I knew a lot about her because of all the wonderful stories you would tell me Sue. It was very clear how close you were to mom and the very deep affection you had for her. Sue you were a wonderful daughter (I only speak of you Sue because I don’t know your sister well or your brother), but all three of you are the legacy your mom leaves behind….and you all are what will make her proud.
Take comfort in knowing that mom is in a better place, and even though you are probably numb now, the days ahead will be difficult…Sue please know that I am only a few doors away, and I will be there for you….My best you you whole family.
Also, please know that I will be purchasing a rooster (I wonder why) and 2 chickens through Worldvision in your mom’s name….Lisebeth
Sue, so sorry to hear about your Mom. I know words cannot ease your pain, but rest assured she is in a better place now, smiling down on you with love. May the memories of your Mother be near to help comfort you in the days ahead. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and God Bless. My Shirley’s soul and the souls of the faithfully departed, rest in peace. Amen.
