I was really saddened when I heard of Shirley's passing. She was such a fun person to be around. Whenever I played at Whitmore Park with my children…and now my grandchildren I would think of Shirley. How impressive to have a park dedicated in your honor.May her memory live on in the hearts of all that knew her. Decatur, IL US
To Leslie, Tom & their older sister & brother and family.I was very sad to hear about your mother's passing. She was always very kind to me and I remember her very fondly. I will never forget how much she cared for your dog Beau, as well as the pointers she gave me before I took my drivers test to get my first license when I was 16. I think the guy was afraid to even consider failing me because I knew your mother! I know it has been many years since we have been neighbors, but I still think about your family frequently. My Dad updates me on Leslie from time to time & had told me how your mother ran in the Boston Marathon years ago. I may be many miles away in Alabama, but a big part of my heart is still in Decatur. I wish there was something I could say or do to take the pain of your loss away, but unfortunately I can't. I do hope you all can find comfort in your many fond memories of your mother and warmth of her love for all of you. God has a new Angel in Heaven to help watch over you all. I hope there is some comfort in knowing there are many who care about all of you and are keeping you in their prayers. I will keep you all in my prayers and ask God to give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Phenix City, AL US
Dear Family: My childhood memories are filled with good times with Aunt Shirley and you. My most cherished memory is when Aunt Shirley and Uncle Roger came to my Dad's funeral – it meant so much to me. I pray that Aunt Shirley, my mom and their parents are all together in Heavan and and are filled peace at last. I have always loved Aunt Shirley and grieve her passing but will keep her in my heart and prayers until I join her myself one day. God be with Uncle Roger and my cousins – May you find courage to face tomorrow in the love that surrounds you today. With love, Terri TeresaBrown Lent. Upper Marlboro, MD US
