Shirley

Post by Bill »

As many of you already know, Shirley went home to be with the Lord Wed. Mar. 15th. Since one of her favorite activities was feeding people, if you would like to do a good deed in memory of her, the Food Pantry would be a fitting choice. Send a little something, (or a big something), to:
Beaver Island Christian Church
Food Pantry
Box 21
Beaver Island, MI 49782
So much more could be said about her, and will be if you bump into me. She loved you, and life on the island, and I thank you all for the love you showed her during her stay here. I will decide about a memorial service when the summer folks return.

When ever I partake of a home made pie, smell warm, fresh banana bread and other excellent bake goods, I will remember Shirley. She put love into everything she did for people she knew as well as for strangers. She was a wonderful friend, wife, mother and grandmother. She will be missed and long remembered.

The loss of Shirley

Post by Wes D »

Just saw your post about Shirley. Shocked. So very sorry for the loss of your dear wife Shirley. Talked with your wife a few times during the short time that have known you and Shirley. Such a kind person.

We know that your faith is strong in Jesus Christ. May God continue strengthen you and surround you with His Love during this time of grief.

Love,

My dear, dear friend, Will. I just for the first time read this news, and my sorrow for you and the family cannot be described. Such a kind and gentle soul was Shirley and she will be so missed by everyone whose lives she touched. I will always have such wonderful memories of her.

God has most certainly cradled her in his loving arms since the very moment she drew her last earthly breath, he loved her so. She loved him, too, and that was evidenced everyday by the way she led her life.

I look forward to seeing you soon to be able to offer my condolences in person, Will, and want you to lean on me when you need to at any time.

May the peace of Christ be with you,

Phil
