Shirley was one of my most favorite people. I always admired her enthusiasm and joy for life. She had an infectious smile and laugh. I always wanted to be able to lead the singing like Shirley. She was an excellent Christian teacher and a lifelong friend to my parents and family. I remember a group of us spending one or more Christmases at her house. She was with my mother during her last days just a few years ago and even agreed to lead the singing at her funeral even though she said her voice was no longer “good enough”. She was always a treasure and we’ll sorely miss her. But she had many friends and family to greet her in her heavenly home. Lana Peterson Bourn
