I am saddened to learn of Shirley's passing. My deepest condolences go to her friends and family. All who knew her will miss her. Shirley touched my heart and life deeply because of her great faith in God. Her spiritual compass always pointed true North to Jesus. I am forever grateful for her and Jerry's influence in my life. Shirley's smile, laugh and sense of humor are comforting memories to me. My heart especially goes out to John, Dan, Lori, and Leslie and families at this difficult time. You are all in mine and Jane's thoughts and prayers. Tim & Jane Seals

Thinking of Shirley and Leslie coming through the doors, smiling, as they walked into North Ridge Church on Sunday mornings makes me happy. Rest in peace, Shirley; God Bless You.
