I regret that I was unable to join in  the celebration of Shirley's life but was there in my heart.  .  She was a true example of tenderness, love, kindness, and joy and will be missed.  We can rejoice that we'll see her soon in her new home where she's strong and whole.  May God be with you and bless you all in the days to come.

My sincere sympathy to the entire family.
Shirley was a kind and sweet person.  I
never saw her any other way.  I consider
myself very lucky to have worked with
her at UGA.  The world definitely needs
more Shirleys.
