Dear beautiful Shirley, thank you for taking us under your wing as part of your family. You loved us all and treated us as your own and we count you as our mum and nan too. May you be reunited with all your loved ones on the other side now and continue your journey with much love and happiness. We’ll miss our chats but they can be continued when we meet again. Love you forever.
I will miss you my ex mother in law but now you will be at peace and with your husband Peter ❤️
Heartfelt Condolences to the family in their loss of a beautiful mum may she now be at peace with her husband and daughter
My sincere condolences to Cherie, Pete and families.
You’re all in my thoughts and prayers to get through this next stage of the final goodbye.
Sending healing vibes and best wishes
Dear Nanny,
It still doesn’t feel real that we have to say goodbye to you. you were such a huge part of our lives, and the world already feels different without you in it.
Thank you for every hug, every laugh, every piece of advice, and every memory you ever gave us.
You gave me so much courage. No matter what was happening, you were always there with kindness, strength and love.
Watching you become a greatgrandmother to my son jaxon was so special. The love you had for him was beautiful to see, I’m so thankful you got to be apart of his life, I’ll always be grateful that he got to know your warmth, your smile. He may be little but he will grow up hearing all about how amazing his great nanny was and how deeply she loved him.
I don’t think anyone is ever truly ready to lose someone they love this much. But I know how lucky we all were to have had you. You gave us memories that we’ll carry forever and a love that will never leave us.
I hope you knew just how loved you were not only as a nanny, but as the heart of our family.
We will miss you every single day.
Ella, Jaxon
I first met Shirley when my very good school friend, Cherrie, invited me to her home. Shirley and Pete were so welcoming and always treated me like part of the family. Through my many visits and sleepovers as a teenager, and through everything I have learned since, I came to know what a truly beautiful and kind person she was, with a wicked sense of humour and a deep love for her family and friends.
Shirley was loved by so many because she gave so much love in return. She is now reunited with her true love, Pete.
May she rest in peace ❤️
RIP Shirl, we have been friends for a many years with our families and friends. Condolences to all your family. ❤️
I will miss our calls Shirley and the times we have spent together. I hope your at peace now and back with Peter. You were a wonderful mother inlaw and will be truely missed.
