Reverend David R. Green says
Shirley and her family became important and a constant in my life 51 years ago when her brother Robert and I, worked part-time at the Racine Journal Times during our high school years. Shirley was always a quiet humble person, yet we always found something to talk about when would meet. To the family I’m sure you feel yet another void. I encourage you to remember Shirley’s love and the love of all your love one’s who have made transition will always remain with you, God is our healer, and comforter, even in times of grief. I love all of you and uplift to God for strength to make it through. I pray you feel the power of God wrapping his loving arms around you, God bless you
