Sorry to hear of the news, but to think of the pain-free peace she now has is reassuring to me and I hope to your family as well. It was a pleasure caring for her, I wish I could have done it longer. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything.

To the Tower Family, I just heard of Shirley's passing today. I send my deepest sympathy to all of you. I have so many great memories of growing up with all of you in our lives. Those were such great times. Big hugs to Duke and to all you boys, I'm all grown up now and there is no way you would be able to trick me into doing silly things for you anymore!! My heart is filled with sadness, but please know that it is with all of you today.
Love, Scott & Lisa Strait & Family

Randy and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Mothers are special people and as such create many wonderful memories for us to hold onto even after they are gone. You are in our thoughts, and we trust that God will grant you peace and comfort in this difficult time.

Randy, Spence, and Sandy
So sorry to hear about your mom/mother-in-law. Gary and I are going to the Tiger game on Wednesday so we won't be able to make the visitation.
May love surround you, may faith sustain you, may hope encourage you...day by day.

Shirley will be greatly missed! She was a wonderful woman that cared so much for others and wanted to identify with their lives (even when she was in great pain herself). I picture her beautiful smile and how she could laugh with such great joy. I know she is smiling even more now and in no more pain since she is with her Loving Savior Jesus!
