I’m sorry for those who loved her. But rejoice at Heavens gain.
We in the doll club will miss her greatly. She was a kind and generous person. She goes to a much better place.
Sherry Minton of Orlando, Florida sends her prayers and warm thoughts to the family of Shirley. She was a kind and generous person. When my husband and I were asked to present a doll talk on French dolls to the doll club, Shirley and her husband welcomed us into their home and treated us to a spaghetti supper, a tour of all of her dolls, a comfortable bed for the night and a great breakfast. She and her husband were very special people and they will be missed by all. I will especially miss our phone calls talking about dolls and our doll friends.
I have known Shirley for a number of years and always enjoyed her friendship greatly.
I miss her so much already. She was a wonderful person and friend. She will be particularly missed in the Barnabites-Friendship Sunday School Class and also in the Exercise Group at Mtn. Park Baptist.
Sending heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved mother, Renee and joining you in rejoicing her eternal healing. May sweet memories sustain you until you meet again. 🤍 🕊️ 🤍
