My sincere condolences to all the Banton family. Shirley will always hold a special place in my heart. I may have only known her 3 years but she meant as much to me as my own mother (RIP). It was a privilege to have shared in her take care during her illness. She was a sincere delightful lady who took her job as a mother very seriously right to the end!
May you rest in peace Shirley with the Angels in Heaven. ❤️ I will miss my visits to you.
