One of the many lessons I learned from Shirley is that you don’t have to be a professional singer to sing to people and make them happy. Her annual “Happy Birthday” phone call always made me smile, and I now sing to my grandkids unabashedly with joy- it makes them happy and is creating fun memories! That’s what Shirley did and that’s all that matters!

Shirly and her husband were members of my Stake for many years when I was a girl.
When I moved into mission Viejo Ward, there they were. It was so great remembering old times. I still have the Mr and Mrs Santa card they sent me.. May you rest in sweet peace my friend and my prayers and condolences to your wonderful family and friends

I have the same memory that Christi Faban shared. Shirley did the simple things to make everyone feel special. No
matter how she felt she always had a smile to share. I loved
Shirley for her wonderful example of love and
compassion. She and Leonard, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, were examples of eternal love. I love you Shirley :kissing_heart:
