So sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I have very fond memories of her and the times I spent at your house back in our teen years. Her friendly and helpful service at the bank was always appreciated and is fondly remembered.
My condolences to you, Sheree, Debbie and families.
May precious memories see you through this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. My condolences to all the family at this time. The most important think I have to say about Shirley, (in my life), is the fact that Shirley told me who to call when I was new to Englehart and my television quit. She told me to call Jack Scott.....I did......he fixed the TV......asked me out and the rest is history! Thank you Shirley! I will always remember you as a wonderful and helpful lady.
