To Brian and Family, what a legacy! So many hearts touched, mouths fed, kind and encouraging words spoken, flag bearer for women in ministry, right hand captain of Brian in pranks, knowledge, support and love of Jesus. To you, her children, thank you for sharing your mum with us. May the God who loves you and brings hope to you all give you peace and His almighty assurance through this time of grief.

Dear Brian,
We were very sorry to hear of Shirley's death. You both were very significant people to us while at Baptist College a long time ago. Shirley was a warm and encouraging person who walked close with Jesus.
May the Lord bring you comfort and peace in this journey with grief,
with love and prayers

Our love and condolences to you Brian. Memories of Shirley go back a long way - I (Lois) remember her catching the bus from New Plymouth to Auckland when she was a Deaconess student at Baptist College! What an amazing life you have shared together.
May His peace and comfort surround you in these days.
