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 and Don – Thank you for taking care of your mother Shirley, my brother Steve’s wife. She will be missed by all her family and friends. God’s blessings to all the family.

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.
To The Andrychuk Family: My deepest sympathies to all of you at this time. Please know that you & your Mother are all in my prayers at this time. I have very pleasant memories of her, and will always think kindly of her and your Father for their kindnesses over the years !!! With my best regards and thoughts ,,, ——- Bruce Fouquet
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.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know she is in a better place with Alma. Stay happy, health and holy…this to shall pass…. Love Always, Danielle
