To Shirley's family ,
What can I say Shirley is in a better place with a lot of people she loves. Your Mom always had a smile and kind words. She set a great example for us to follow. She was a good wife, mother, grandmother ,and great grandmother. Liked by everyone she knew. I feel lucky to have known her. Now she is another angel in heaven and we need all of them! We wish we could be there but we are in Florida. All our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.. I know Shirley is looking down and is very proud of each and everyone in her family.
Prayers & Hugs

To the Bollig family, Shirley was one of the kindest persons I have ever met. I am fond on the memories of her arrangement of the supplies for the annual opening of the cabin in Eagle River for us fishing guys, the fine diners I had the pleasure of attending with the family, and some of the one on one conservations we shared. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Mike Meicher

We are so sorry that we were not able to attend the visitation and Mass for Shirley due to previous plans. We have known Shirley (and Linus) for most of our lives. They were both wonderful people and we feel blessed to have known them and the entire family. Shirley was always such a pleasant and thoughtful person. We enjoyed many trips to the cabin in Eagle River and have many lasting good memories of many times together. Our most sincere sympathy to the Bollig family.
