Deepest sympathy William Katy Kathy and family, at the passing of Shirley. She was such a gentle caring person, with whom we shared many happy and sad times. The kind of lady one was privileged to call a true friend. Grieve you will, but you can be strengthened in knowing she was a wonderful matriarch, who is now at peace with Derek, and Douglas.
