Mr Lumsden, Rick, Randy and families, we are so sorry to hear about the loss of Shirley. She was such a kind and thoughtful soul. We have fond memories of her during the visits in Toronto at Rick and Pat’s apartment and the many Hanrahan gatherings, including our wedding. She was always so positive and welcoming, and extended her love to us so graciously. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this very difficult time. May you hold those memories in your hearts to get you through your sorrow. Deepest condolences, Trish, Pat, Scott and Caitlin Hanrahan

Ron, Rick, Randy and families, Just heard of Shirley’s passing and feeling bad that we couldn’t convey our sympathy in person. It was wonderful to view the multitude of photos showcasing what a full life Shirley lived. It was evident that she enjoyed life with her family and friends. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. We will miss seeing her beautiful smile and I know you will too. May all your wonderful memories of Shirley comfort you now and always. Sincerely, Barb and Stephen DeLisle

My sincere sympathy to Ron and your family. Shirley was just one of my favourite ladies. I first became friends at Teaching PD Days and then ended with our monthly RWTO meetings. We shared many hugs and conversations. May all of your cherished memories help to console you as you celebrate Shirley's life.

Elise and I were saddened to hear about aunt Shirley’s passing. I have fond memories of visiting Ron, Shirley, Rick, Randy and Rhonda, with my grandparents, in summers when I was growing up. The picture of Ron & Shirley at the Chuckwagon has brought back great memories of mini golf and banana milk shakes…..good times. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the friends and family who are coming together to honor her.

Sending heartfelt sympathy to you Ron, and the whole family. Shirley was a very special person. I consider it a privilege to have met her and worked with her. The students in her care were incredibly fortunate to have her as their teacher. She gave them her undivided attention and never tired of hearing their stories. I remember her love for anything green. Her smile and her quick laugh. A picture of you and Shirley in the canoe, after her retirement, so sweet. I treasure the memories of meeting for breakfast. Laughter and stories shared of her family and her travels. She touched so many lives. Cherish the memories. sincerely, Lorraine Stubbs

Dear Ron, Rick, Randy and families: We are sending our love and hugs to help you through the loss of Shirley. As one of the first couples we met on R2 when we moved here in 2017, we instantly knew these two would be a part of our life going forward. Shirley was one of the truly nicest, most caring and kind ladies we have ever met. Shirley always called to make sure we were okay and make plans for coffee or horseshoes. For the past three years, we have loved our Tues night cards with she and I trying madly to beat the boys at euchre and crib. Our hearts are truly broken as we will miss Shirley forever. Love to you all ❤️ Tim and Kim Bolger
