Shirley was in our Friday morning Bible Study at Eastside Lutheran Church. There were three of us named Shirley in the class and we always sat next to each other. She thoroughly enjoyed those Friday mornings and we all will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. May the Peace and Love of God be with you all. Shirley Brooks, member of Eastside Lutheran Church.

I also shared Friday mornings with Shirley in a Bible study group at Eastside Lutheran Church for the past several years since I became a member there. The group was enriched by her presence and faithfulness. I would also often see her at church service on Sunday mornings. I will miss her but am joyful to know that she is with our Lord now! May you, her family, be comforted by knowing this, as well!

We were in the Friday morning Bible study also. We were shocked to hear of her sudden death. Though she was one of the quieter ones in the group, we welcomed her presence. We hope that our Lord will give your comfort.

Shirley will be missed at our Friday morning Bible Class and her smiling face at Eastside Lutheran Church on Sundays. I share your grief but am happy to know that she is in heaven with her Savior Jesus.
I know how hard it is to lose a loved one and my prayers are with you but I am sure we will all remember her as a good friend. Judy Mattie, a fellow Christian
