Our thoughts and prayers go out the family of Shirley. Richard, Shirley and their children were a staple of my childhood growing up at Brounland. They were both involved in the school and church I attended as a child and their children were all close friends growing up. I know Richard will be happy to see her though she will be missed by those of us left behind. I hope the Children can take comfort in knowing she is with their Father in a much better place.
