My heart is with you as you mourn the loss of Shirley. She was a devoted wife, a beloved member of your family, and someone whose warmth and kindness touched me deeply every time I had the privilege of seeing her.
Leonard, we have shared a lifetime of friendship—from our early school days to our service in Vietnam and all the years that followed. In this difficult time, please know that you are not alone. My thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathies are with you and your family.
May Shirley’s memory bring you comfort, and may you find strength in the love and support of those who care for you.
With heartfelt condolences,

I was saddened to learn of the death of Shirley. I extend to you my deepest condolences and my sincere sympathy to you and the family. My favorite memory of your mother is when I first started working at Wilbur Smith & Associates, I met Shirley, Johnnie, Sylvia and Margaret and we hit it off and were good friends. She will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Thank you for your love. Thanks for being a second mother when I needed it the most, and always treating me like your own son with love but also accountability. I hope you’re proud of your contributions to this world, for they are truly appreciated. I can say with confidence, that God is saying, JOB WELL DONE. Love you forever.
Mrs. Mayers, my sweet neighbor. I’m gonna miss you. You were like another auntie to me. Please give my mom a hug for me when you see her. Keeping my bestie (Jessica), Lenny, Mr. Mayers, and the rest of the family and friends in my prayers.
Lenard,
Although I never met your wife, Shirley, I can identify with the grief that you are experiencing due to the loss of my husband. You have my sincere condolences.

To. Mr Leonard, Jessica and Lenny: My prayers are with you all. Shirley always made me smile and welcomed me when I saw her at church. She was so graceful even during her times of pain and sickness. I will miss her on the Deaconess pew, but we will see her again on that Great Morning.
Lenny, I do not know you very well but from what I do know your mother raised a gentleman. Your work ethic is unmatched and you are kind to patients.
I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine losing a parent. Prayers to you and your family.
Leonard, Jessica and Lenny may you all tske comfort in knowing you had a true wife and mother. Shirley loved you all with all she had. Jessica your mother was so proud of you when you finished college. Lenny your mother beamed with joy when you made her a grandmother! Just remember both you had (and still have in your hearts) a great mother; someone not many children will ever have. Leonard, Shirley was your rock she believed in you and loved you thru the good and bad. May you all take comfort in kowing Shirley is resting in the presence of the Lord. Stay close and loved each other the way your wife and mother wanted for her family. You all were her world!
Our deepest sympathies to the family!
Mrs Mayers Was My Neighbor On Liberty Hill She Was A Beautiful Woman And Awesome Mother And Wife To The Family You Have My Deepest Condolences
A good woman is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, nor does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of articulating her needs. A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all of her dreams come true. She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated. A good woman has a dash of inspiration, a dabble of endurance. She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them. A good woman knows God. She knows that with God the world is her playground, but without God she will just be played. A good woman does not live in fear of the future, because of her past.
May her memory live on forever through the lives she touched.
Our deepest condolences to the family
