    We're sure going to miss Aunt Shirley. Plenty of fond memories of her sense of humor and ready laugh, her singing and autoharp playing and just a fun time whenever we all got together. Those that have gone on before us are waiting for you to join in with them in harmony. Godspeed! (Nephew) Harry and Laurie, Montreal
