    Dear friends, I just heard of Shirley’s passing today. I am thankful for being included in your family when I lived in Rochester and Shirley’s warm hospitality and wonderful cooking certainly was a gift for me. You will all be in our prayers. I am certain that there was also a warm welcome and overflowing hospitality when she arrived Home. Love, Mary (Fitch) Connolly Greensboro, N.C.

    Don and Janet: We will miss Grandma Shirley, her occasional visits to our home, and her willingness to ‘share’ her wheelchair with the kids. But we will always remember your loving care and devotion to her as inspiring and heartwarming and the model of pure love. We are happy that she is whole again and with your father…and our Father… once more. Love, Michael, Lori, John, Matthew and Kelsey

    Janet–It was with a sense of deep joy that I read that Shirley had gone home. Now I will have to call on her to pray for us rather than praying for her. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this time, -JERRY mORIARTY

    To all the Andrychuks – I’m sorry I wasn’t able to come in person to express my sympathy to all of you. I have been thinking of you and remembering the good times we had together at cousins club picnics and family gatherings. When I think of your mom I can picture her great smile and the laughter when everyone was together. My love to you all at this difficult time.

    We are saddened by Shirley’s death but are happy that she has been released from the grips of Alzheimer’s disease. We loved Shirley and I, Mary, was very happy when my brother Steve married her. Many thanks to Jan and Don for the many years of devoted care bestowed by them.
