I’m very sorry for your loss (Wendy and family). I remember Shirley (Mrs. Shampo, to me) very well. She was always sweet/kind and readily welcomed in the neighborhood kids. She had a bottom drawer of treats (dorito’s/snacks) that seemed to magically replenish itself. I’ll keep your family in my thoughts. Take care! Love, Pam DeKeyser

Dear Paul
I will never be able to thank you and Shirley enough for the kindness shown me by both of you. I remember when we tracked mud in the house from a long days work she would exclaim, “I should have married a banker. Then there would be money falling out of your cuffs and not mud”. Shirley stopped by my mothers viewing last September to offer your condolences. She expressed to me how proud she was of her grandson Tony when he passed his drivers test after being so nervous about it.
I offer my sympathies and pray for you and your family that in your time of grief you will find comfort in celebrating her life.
God Bless
