Thinking of all of you at this sad time. We will miss your mom and her cheerful, loving spirit. Love to you all, Chris and Elizabeth
We are so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a wonderful lady. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family
What a gift to have given her, comfort and freedom of suffering with hospice care. It takes a strong family and strong person, like your mother, to embrace the end and choose comfort. I am thinking of you Sue and your dear family. Hold eachother close. May your strength for one and other hold you up.
My thoughts are with you, Sue and Sandra. Your mother was a special gift that God gave us all. He has decided that her work on earth is done and she can now
see the loved ones that she has so missed, that passed before her. Love you
So very sorry for your loss. May God Bless and Guide you and your family through this difficult time and bring peace soon to your hearts.
Sincerely,

Sandra and extended family: I am so glad that I came out to see Shirley the day before Easter and spend time with her and your family. I never did get back out to see her after that due to my gram being in the hospital for three weeks and her finally being brought home and passing away the 19th. I loved the stories your mom would tell me about you girls growing up and even some about the grandchildren. Shirley certainly was a great great lady and even though I only knew her for a short time, I loved her greatly! She always had something to tell me, she shared her worries with me and I am very proud that she chose me to do all that with. She was right when she told you that we cried together, laughed together and had become great friends. I will always remember her and cherish the time that we did have together. Heather Kazek
