Shirley, may you Rest in Peace in Heaven. My Prayers and Condolences go out to The Shirley Johnson Family; I met Shirley a few times and she was always nice with a smile, as she shook my hand. I also went to visit her in the Hospital in Grand Rapids, But The Family was gone and she was asleep, so I left a message on the marker board. My Heart goes out to Vicky, Becky, Julie, Kevin, Little Kevin and Especially Mary, who I’ve been Friends with for over 34 years; Love JIMI.
Our prayers go out for ShirleyGÇÖs family and friends. May God grant them His peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding. We thank God for bringing Shirley home to Himself. In Friendship and Love, Kenny and Christie Myers
