So saddened to hear about Shirley's passing. She was such a sweet person and I have lots of fond memories of her and Robert Earl when we lived in Columbus, MS.
They are together again now...
Sending all my love to her family.
Shirley was such a sweet and special person! A "longtime" friend who I didn't have the pleasure to see often but when I did it was a special pleasure and blessing to visit with her. She was so very proud of her family. Ricky, Kenny and Michael, my deepest sympathy to you and your families. I will always remember her with a smile on her face!
Love,
Jamie Ford Brigance
One of the nicest ladies I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. RIP sweet lady.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. You and your family are in my prayers at this time.
Rick and Tammy, I am truly saddened to hear about Shirley. I had hoped that she was doing better. Have thought of her often and missed her being here in Joiner. My thoughts are with all of you.
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. May God wrap his arms around you and comfort you.
Sorry for your loss, you and your family will be in our prayers.
My heart is deeply saddened to hear about Shirley's death. I became friends with her when I started to work at E.R. Moore Company in Osceola in 1972, where we worked together for 11 years. Although our paths only crossed a few times after I left my job, I always treasured her friendship. She was a joy to work with and always had a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eyes. God has claimed another angel! My prayers are with your family.
Rest in peace.
