Shirley and Bob were the nicest,kindest people you could ever meet.Rest in Peace Shirley.
Shirley was the sweetest woman. I was blessed to sing with her in the choir at St John’s and she and Bob were dearly loved by all. My deepest sympathy to her beloved family.
Grant & Stephen: Sorry to learn of your aunt passing on. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Please accept our sincere condolences. Henry and I thought your parents were wonderful. We were sorry to hear of Shirley's passing. We met at St. Peter's Church twenty years ago. Bob and Shirley switched to Saint John's Church, and we stayed friends. It was always a joy to see them again around the town. Of course we stopped for a chat and came away happier for having had a short visit with them. She must have missed Bob so much. May you be comforted in your sorrow. Judy and Henry Knight
I will miss my phone visits with Shirley . She was such a wonderful, loving person . We would chat away for ages . She always would lift my heart up with joy . She and her dear “Bob” just loved each other so much . And now they are together again . My love to her family . She will always live on in our hearts and memories forever . Judy G

We loved Shirley and Bob when they were in St. Peter's Choir and have happy memories of times with them. Shirley was always bright and cheerful and a good friend to all. My deepest sympathy.
To Shirley’s Family So sorry to hear about your mum. I suspect Bob was waiting for her with open arms. They were both so very nice. I know them from St John’s. Godspeed Shirley. Jayne, Margaret, Riley & Michaela
