It is with sadness that I received this news, but also with many wonderful memories of a life well lived. Shirley, her sister Joan, and I met in 1956, at EPBC in Peterborough. After college we reconnected in 1969, at Queensway Cathedral….and a life long friendship began. We were part of a group of friends that one pastor called the “dirty dozen”, but that was just in jest. We were close friends…all involved in church activities, and loving the social connections.
My deepest sympathies go out to Shirley’s husband Fred, daughter Karen, and her sister Joan. May the God of all comfort hold you close in the days ahead.
