Cathy, Mike and Paul. Just saw your Moms obituary and is deepened saddened to hear of Shirley’s passing. We worked together for many years at CIBC and she was always one of my closest coworkers and I loved her dearly. Although we haven’t seen each other often over the past few years ….whenever we did it was so much fun and laughter talking about the good old days in the 70’s. I can see her now pounding away on the old standard typewriter And hated it when we got the electric one. RIP any dear friend.

Cathy and family,
Thinking of you.
May your wonderful memories comfort you.
Take good care.

You can take comfort in the fact that Shirley and her beloved Bob are now together again. Love and prayers, Peter Williams and Jane Leibel

We were so sorry to hear of Aunt Shirly’s passing. She was truly a great person, with a heart of gold and a smile that would light up a room. Your Mom and Dad were so kind to me when I first moved here to go to University…from Sunday dinners…..encouragement and all the love a family could give. I would guess there’s a big reunion in heaven now with your Dad and all the siblings who have gone before them. If there is anything at all that we can do, please reach out. Lots of love and hugs.
