Dear Sharon & Sean, I feel very privileged to have met your mom on several occasions and have wonderful memories of her warmth and compassion for people. She was a strong, independent lady who did things on her terms ~ something we can all learn from. I'm sorry for your loss but trust that she is watching over you now from a gentler, kinder place. You both took such wonderful care of her.
Love to you both,
Donna

Shirly's was a wonderful mother in law and a great friend, wise and classy , always looked at people's China when tea was served, but still was kind and thoughtful, with a sutle sense of humour. She was surrounded by friends and family during her passing, and she'll be dearly missed . 🌹

Dear Sharon, Sean and Pauline, I am so saddened to hear that your mom has passed away. I have fond memories of her from the days when we were next door neighbours. She was generally a private person, yet I always felt welcome in your house, sometimes on a daily basis. She had so much patience for your dad's silly jokes and antics, to say nothing of ours. I am truly sorry for your loss and will keep all of you in my thoughts and memories.
Love,
Lynne.
