I'm Scott Gentry her nephew. Shirley moved in with us when Diane was born. I still have a picture of us in the backyard. I will never forget the times I spent with her and her family. She loved everyone and always had a smile on her face. I loved her very much and she will always be in my heart.
My deepest condolences to the family. Aunt Shirley always made me feel included. Now she's in heaven with my Mom and Dad
Shirley, I want to say this to you as opposed to saying it about you later.
Your friendship has always meant a lot to me. Your humor and positive attitude at work always inspired me and made bad days better.
I had so much fun with the Red Hats and was so excited when you invited me to join the group.
You are one of my favorite people and I love you dearly. I will hold you close in my heart forever.
❤❤❤❤❤
Gerry and Shirley were a beautiful couple. Gerry was a particularly strong influence on my getting a Supervisory position at our mutual work.
My friend Judy and I met up with them in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the International Hot Air Balloon Festival and they invited us to go with them on a driving excursion to many beautiful places in New Mexico that I would never have seen. It will always be one of my favorite memories.
May they rest in the arm of Jesus until we meet again.
