The family would like to express a very special thank you to the wonderful staff at Sunrise Assisted Living in Buffalo for the loving care they gave Shirley for the last 5 years. Also, thank you to family and friends who visited her.
The Peterson Chapel, St. Michael/Albertville assisted the family with arrangements.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Shirley will be missed by her friends at Sunrise. Our card players miss her. She loved going on the bus and out to lunch and eating a mushroom/swiss burger. We will miss her on our bus outings. Good-bye Shirley.
