My thoughts are with Tim, Tristan, Julia and Robbie, your partners and children at this time. We need a few more Shirley's in this world, but her lifestyle will continue through the love you all experienced from your Mum/Grandma.The one thing that saddens me most, is that Covid got her, after her ongoing health problems, that she fought so well! A rose once grew where all could see Sheltered beside a garden wall And, as the days past swiftly by It spread its branches, straight and tall. One day, a beam of light shone through A crevice that had opened wide The rose bent gently towards the warmth Then passed beyond to the other side. Now you who deeply feel its loss Be comforted, the rose blooms there It's beauty even greater now, Nurtured by God's own loving care! [Author Unknown]
