With my sincere Sympathy, Friendship and Love to Shirley’s family….may she now be at peace….
I’m very sorry to see that Mrs. Griffie passed away. Her son, Dan, worked for my Dad. She was a great lady! My sincerest sympathy goes out to all of her family and friends.
We are so sorry to learn that Shirley passed away this winter. We enjoyed our chats with her “at the mailbox over” the last ~decade. Peace and prayers to the family.
