I will miss you Shirley so much. You were an inspiration to all of us at HP. Love Pat & Ken
We were lucky to have Shirley as our neighbor at Impala for years. A great friend and a grandma by proxy for my kids. We will all miss you, Shirley! With love – Scott, Alba, Julia and Nicholas McIntyre.
It was a pleasure to see Shirley and talk to her at HP. She inspired all of us to keep going. She was a beautiful person. I will miss seeing her.
I remember talking to Shirley at Health Point . She was a very nice lady.
My condolences to George and Shirley’s families. I lived next door to them for several years. Both had a great sense of humor, and were wonderful neighbors. Miss them both.
I just had a beautiful visit with Shirley at Health Point following my knee replacement, just two months ago. I was so happy to see that she was still going to the gym, because I hadn’t seen her in a few years. We talked and she showed me how to properly hold my cane. I even snapped a selfie with her! She is one of the people I have admired the most at Health Point. My morning crew of the 70 and older club are an inspiration, and people I aspire be. She was a sweet soul and always so friendly.
My condolences to your family – Michelle
