To Bill and family
I am sad to hear of Shirley's passing today. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I won't be able to attend her service, I shall be in Australia. I will always remember fun times we enjoyed in the past.

Was very sad to hear of big Shirl's passing. I have many fond memories of her as a child. I loved spending time with the family at Gorge Road, and all the fabulous baking that she done. My love and thoughts are with you all xxx

I am sorry to hear of Shirley's passing and also not to have been able to attend her funeral. I have many fond memories of a lady who always had a ready smile and happy to have a conversation, as well as the most amazing apple pie. Please accept my condolences to all of her family.
