Forty + years ago the Stone family moved to the house next door to Shirley and Don in Millidgeville. Over the years Shirley and I became good friends and shared many happy times together, shopping, eating out and going for either coffee or ice cream, (a favourite of Shirley).
As my children grew, Shirley was always there for us to house/dog sit when Brian and I went on various trips, both business and
pleasure. She was a great dog-walker and enjoyed strolling the local streets with our 4 legged family, sometimes 3 at a time. Sometimes we just went out for a drive in the park and a chin-wag. She enjoyed her crocheting and produced many coloured dishcloths to share, and later, prayer shawls.
Shirley looked forward to Sundays and her regular visits to church and later when her mobility made it more difficult for her I know she was grateful for the wonderful people who would walk her there and back each Sunday.
You were a good friend Shirley. Now Rest in Peace.
Valerie.
