Inspiring Woman
Shirley was full of life. She was a very inspiring woman. There's a saying when a person walks in a room they light up the room. Well Shirley was this preson and not only that but when you walked in a room you felt as if you lit up the room but actually it was Shirley who made you feel that you lit up the room. Shirley had always made me feel more imporant then I actually thought I might be. She was wonderful. She always listened and had positive things to say. She had a way about her self that always made you smile wanting you to come back for more. Many times when I was there visiting she had either prepared lunch or dinner and always persisted for me to sit down and eat with her and Howard. Shirley and Howard always made me feel part of the family. Shirley will always be in my thoughts and I will always remember her positive and cheerful spirt.
Our thoughts are with you,
Our thoughts are with you, Chaz, and the Maul family on the loss of your grandma.
