Dear Jeanne and family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear mother. I worked with her at the Ottawa County Health Department for many years. She was a hard worker and a sincere friend. She was always doing special things for people at work, bringing them handmade flower arrangements, little gifts or yummy baked goods. She shared many of her creative endeavors with us. She told great stories and always presented a positive attitude. She spoke so fondly of you and her 2 grandsons; she really loved you!
I hope you have many fond memories of Shirley. Again, my deepest sympathy during these difficult days of loss.
Fondly, Karen Flowerday
