Aunt Shirley, my heart is broken. To think I will never be able to have our Blue Jay conversations or talk about the digital Christmas calendar you have bought for many years. To spend our traditional Christmas's together and for you to watch the grandkids grow up has left a whole in my heart that I will never be able to repair.
I take comfort in having you in my life for 60 years, having your constant love and your passion for reading and our beloved Blue Jays.
Give Grammy, mom and Roger a kiss for me.
Love you always Kim & Mike

Our condolences to your family, Shirley was such a lovely and warm person. She will be missed. She would always comment on my pictures of the kids. She came to my graduation dinner and my wedding which was so kind of her.
She crocheted me a blanket which still have and use! She will be remembered fondly!
