I am so sad to hear of the loss of your mother and one of my childhood icons. When I close my eyes and think of Mrs. Dzula, I remember her wearing the Tenthward Tiger coat, cheering at our games and the endless hours sitting in her kitchen just hanging out with us. Mrs. Dzula is such an integral part of my childhood and I will always hold memories of her dear to my heart. I will be thinking of all of you in the days, months and years to come. Even though mom is not here, she is in each of you and you will all carry on her legacy for generations to come.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I want to express my deepest sympathy to Shirley’s family and friends for your loss. I have numerous fond memories of Shirley and the family that I will cherish forever. She was an extremely warm and caring person who always remained positive. I hope that the family can take comfort in knowing that she is in a much better place. In spite of your significant loss, I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season.
May God bless and keep you in this time of struggle. Know that she was loved by many and will live on in your hearts forever. I will keep you all in my prayers. Remebering the good times we had with her growing up on Albemarle St. and trying to keep you all in line. She is always there to keep a watch over all that she loved.
Sending all of you special prayers and deepest sympathy as you experience the loos of such a beautiful mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend.

You all are such a caring family and can lean on each other for strength. Shirley was so ill and her love of family and friends gave her the courage to go on.

Very sorry for your loss.
You were a precious gift from God above, so much beauty, grace and love. You touched our hearts in so many ways, your smile so bright even on the bad days. You heard God’s whisper calling you home, you didn’t want to go and leave us alone. You loved us so much, you held on tight, till all the stregnth was gone and you could no longer fight. He had called your name twice before, you knew you couldn’t make him wait anymore. So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away, knowing that with our love we will be together again some day. Until we meet again….. We love you, Steve and Lois
