I just found out that my sweet friend,
Shirley, passed away in May!!! I cannot
believe it.  Shirley was one of the 
wisest women I knew...

Dear Richard, Sherri and Greg,
My sister Shirley was so very special to me, and I wanted you to know how much I will miss her smile and our talks.  She would brighten my morning each day with her telephone calls.  During the time that my Troy struggled with his illness, it was always so very nice to get her calls of encouragement and support.  My love goes out to all of you now; and please remember that I will always be there for you.  
Love, Aunt Irene

Richard, Gregg, Sherry and Family,
I am very saddened by the passing of Shirley.  She was the sweetest lady and friend and that smile of hers would light up any room.  I know she is greatly missed and may you all find comfort in the memories you have.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. Much Love, Linda

Dear Gregg,Joyce,Richard,Sherry,Jeff and Family,
Bob and I are heart broken to hear of Shirley's passing. Bob has known Shirley and Richard much longer than I have but from the moment I met them they made me feel like I had known them forever. I will never forget when my father passed and I introduced them to my mother.They
   took her to the 'senior center'at Green Acers so she could meet people and get out of the house. Shirley would light up a room with her beautiful smile and sparkling eyes.
 On May 17,2016 the world lost a wonderful lady but heaven gained a very special angel. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad time.
Your friends forever,
Anne and Bob

Dear Richard,Gregg,Joyce,Sherry,Jeff and Family,
Bob and I are so heart broken to hear of Shirley's passing. Bob knew Richard and Shirley many years more than I did but the minute I met them they made me feel like I had known them for years. I will never forget when my father passed and they met my mother and introduced her to the 'senior center' at Green Acers. We will always remember Shirley by her beautiful smile and sparkling eyes. On May 17,2016 the world lost a wonderful lady and heaven gained a beautiful angel. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad time.
Your friends,
Anne and Bob

Dear Richard, Greg and Sherry, We are so sorry to hear of Shirley's passing. I feel so bad we did not keep our friendship up. I would see her and Richard at Safeway and we always said lets get together, but never took the time to do it. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Gerri & Francis Buroker, Fairfax,VA

I am so saddened to hear about your mother's passing.  I bike to work almost daily and I live on Virginia St.  I would see your parents on my way home in the afternoon as they enjoyed the good weather on their porch. Your mom had a great smile and always had kind words to say.  My deepest condolences to you.  Please let your father know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sherry, Gregg (and Joyce), I will always remember your mom and the beautiful animal sanctuary she had in her back yard. She and your dad were active members in the community and served Fairfax for many years. I miss her big smile and friendly waves when I drive by their house. May comfort and peace surround you. Carolyn Grubbs

Dear Gregg and Joyce,
Our condolences to you.  You are in our thoughts.  
Jane and Patty
