Our deepest condolence to Bill and family. Although we are saddened by the news of her passing we are thankful and cherish the many times of the sharing smiles in warm and funny conversations with Shirley and Bill at the arena.
Her compassion for others were shown in actions throughout her life and so many have benefited from her kindness. She will be missed and when things open up again it is going to seem empty not seeing her at the arena anymore.
