Miss Shirley was the most wonderful woman to my parents. I can't tell you how happy she made their lives and us How secure and safe we felt as her children knowing that Miss Shirley was there. She has become family to us and we loved her. Although our hearts break 💔at her passing, Heaven has a new angel, And blessed reunion with John and Gloria. 🙏🏻

Our hearts are heavy at hearing of Shirley's passing. She assisted my in-laws, John and Gloria Herzog, until their passings in 2014 and 2015 respectively. She became family to us and we loved her as she loved us.

Au revoir sweet Lady ... until we meet again.
