My uncle, William E. Shirley, was a very kind and thoughtful man who loved the Lord so very much. He went on mission trips out of the country to help folks with their teeth since he was a dentist and could help people who had problems with their teeth. He devoted so much time and financial support to help those in need. God bless his family who remain here and comfort them as they remember him so well and loved him deeply. I loved him, too.

I cherish my Jesus plaque that Dr. Shirley has made for thousands that attend the Emmaus Walk! Like the "Jesus" in this plaque, we sometimes have difficulty focusing on Jesus in our lives. Once you have seen HIM, we can know that "I am with you always, even to the end of the age". Thank you Dr. Shirley! Prayers for the Shirley family! I truly have seen Jesus in Dr. Shirley!!

Bill was my Uncle and I loved him so much. He was a kind, generous man and he will be greatly missed. He was the only brother of my Daddy's family that graduated from College. I know that many folks who knew him have wonderful memories of him and how he reached out to those who were less fortunate than he. I remember Bill making missionary trips out of the country to do dental work on individuals who could not afford dental work. He loved his Church family, his own family and friends so much. I am so glad that I could call him my Uncle and shared many wonderful times with him and his family. May the Lord comfort and strengthen his family at this much needed time for them.

Carol, Joe and family members,
How my heart aches for you-I certainly know how it feels. I remember many fun days at the Shirley's home. Dr. Bill was a "Wonderful homemade Reese's peanut butter cup" maker. This was only one of a few houses I could spend the night (due to my diabetes and that Dr. Bill would give me my shot). He and Ms. June were such an important part of my teenage years. I LOVE this family and will hold them dear and close to my heart in the times ahead. May God hold you in His arms and comfort you all during these times.
Jennifer "Morgan" Chadwick
