Add A Condolence

Extending my prayers and condolences, to the family. Ms. Shirley was beautiful and cared for others without hesitation, but also knew the importance of taking care of herself. She was the best neighbor for my parents during those years, with good conversations and sharing good food. I will be forever grateful. Much love and respect to a beautiful Lady🌹

Faye and Family: What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word and/or one more touch. We may not understand why Shirley left this world so soon and before we were ready to say good-bye. Just remember that she lived a very, very fruitful life and that her life gave us all too many memories too beautiful to forget. May these precious memories provide comfort and strength in this time of sorrow because we know they will live forever in all of our hearts. Shirley was truly a beacon of light and touched so many lives. Asking God to wrap His loving arms around each of you during this difficult time. Much love, many, many prayers and hugs. Sleep in Heavenly Peace Shirley Bowling!
