Guest Book

My deepest sympathy to Shirley's family. I met Shirley years ago through her brother James whom I worked with at MetLife. Shirley and I continued to see each other out shopping. She always had that beautiful smile and a good conversation. I will miss our encounters. Prayers for her family.

Shirley was the last of her immediate family. Although we were distant cousins (as the old folks said), we lived across from each other on Fulton St for much of my life. But, things change,we grow older and pass on. I pray God' s peace on the family and friends. Say hello to all who have gone on before. We'll see you soon enough.
