Mr. Glenn and family:
I am so saddened to hear of Mrs. Shirley's passing. I just found out last night and I was devastated. But I know that she is in a much better place now, and although we will always feel a huge loss, I certainly look forward to the day when I can see her again. Take comfort Mr. Glenn in her constant love and continuous admiration for you. I hope you know what a pleasure it was in working with Mrs. Shirley and trying to help make her world a little better. I love you both.

Glenn and family -
My sincere condolences! The last time I saw Shirley she and her sister were in a store both in electric scooters laughing and acting like school girls. She made my heart smile that day. She was my friend and mentor and will be dearly missed. Thoughts and prayers to all of you. Shelly

I am saddened to read about Shirley's death. I remember all the time our families spent together in Roper's ICU waiting room in 2003. Emily and I were so pleased when Shirley improved enough to go home. I know that all of you will miss her like crazy. She's in her eternal home now and I hope your memories will sustain you while you grieve. I hope Charles will greet her in heaven and show her around the place. He always said that about his friends and family that would surely join him and our Lord in heaven.

Please know that each of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you!
