Julie - I cant find the right words that could possibly bring you comfort at this time but know my heart breaks for you and you are in my constant thoughts. 
Looking through the pictures, I can hear her voice and can vision so many memories of the times at your house growing up.  I also see her smile in yours, hear her laugh in your laugh and feel her amazing ability to love everyone in your ability to love and bring people together.  I wish I was closer to be able to come home but know I am thinking of you, Brad, Fran, your families and all of the kids. Sending my love and deepest condolences.

Shirley was everything a person could be.  Loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, friend.  Shirley always shared a smile and  a positive comment whenever, wherever.

When I thought of a friend, an acquaintance,  a happy, sincere, loving person, Shirley was at the top of the list.

Shirley was precious and special.  She will always be remembered.  Shirley is a legend and her legend will live on through her beautiful family.

God bless you all.  I pray that Shirley's strength, through God, will help you through this difficult time.

Love Always ... The Barkley Family

To the Simard family my deepest sympathy. To know Shirley was to love her. My heart is very heavy for all of you.  Sandra Quinn, Burlington, Ont. 

Dear Frank and all the family
We are so shocked and saddened to hear this news.Shirley was always so much fun when she visited the office and we enjoyed her.
We last saw her and you on a flight from the Sault when you were on your way on a cruise.
So sorry and we will see you on Monday.


My memories of Shirley go back to our days of high school. Then we met time after time when she worked at the Royal Bank.  We shared some good times and a drink with friends earlier this year in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. Another Angel has left for eternal peace in Heaven, in the loving arms of her God. Her departure was too early, but having touched her family, her children, her grandchildren, her friends, with her loving heart and affection, she leaves behind all those precious memories, which we can hold and cherish everyday.  Our prayers, our thoughts, our condolences go out to all the family. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Bob and Sharon Morgan.


To the Simard’s and Lotto’s... Shirley’s passing comes with great sorrow to us all. I’ll miss her greatly. 

Francine, Rob, Amanda, Amy and Simard Family ... our deepest condolences to you all for the loss of your beautiful mother, grandmother, wife and friend.   We will remember her as living life to the fullest and enjoying every minute she spent with her family.

Thinking of you during this very  difficult time.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.       
                      Giselle, Joe, Ryan and Tyler
