I have Nan Shirley saved in my phone under Shirley’s number. I love you so much, Shirley. You were such a warm, gentle, kind soul. I love you so much. Rest peacefully, my dear friend.
I will always cherish our phone calls, texts, and visits, and I take comfort in knowing that heaven is a much better place than earth. I will miss you, but I will be with you again soon.
Love you, Shirley & family xxxooo

I was deeply saddened to learn of your passing. I remember with great affection the many years that we spent together at the Base Hospital. I never told you but I hoped that you guessed that you were one of my favourite employees. You were one of the most beautiful people that anyone could ever know.
I will miss you.
Rest in Peace.
I know in my heart that the Good Lord will not forget you.
