My sincere condolences to the family. I have many fond memories of Shirley. She was like a second mom to me at Tiffany Woods where we worked. She was the most kind gentle hearted person I know. Always talked about her grandkids. She was a proud grandma for sure. Rip Shirley and I know you and Allen are happy to be together again. Love Karen

Please accept my sympathy at Shirley’s passing. She lived within a block of me, and I enjoyed having many haircuts by her! We always enjoyed a good visit at each haircut!
May your family be blessed with comfort and peace.
