Dear Family,
I was very saddened when I heard of the passing of my dear friend and co-worker Shirleymae. (We use to work at Urology Centre). She was such a quite and pleasant soul. I remembered visiting Miami many years ago and she invited me to a family gathering that was kept at Stephanie’s home, we all had a lovely time. My heart goes out to the entire family, especially Robert who was my class mate at Maldon Secondary School. May you all take comfort in the fact that she was well loved by you her family and all those whose lives she touched. Also, please take comfort in these scriptures found at Act 24:15, Revelation 21: 3-4. With Jehovah’s help, I look forward to welcoming my dear friend back in the “New World” to come, where no resident will say “I AM SICK,” Isaiah 33:24. Kindly accept my condolences.

Shirley worked with me as my Receptionist in the 1980’s. She was a mature individual with a calm christian personality. She was very respectful and it was a pleasure working with her. Family and friends accept my condolences and hold on to the glorious hope of the resurrection morning where you will reunite. Blessings

Good morning Steph, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of cousin Shirley. Please accept my deepest condolences ❤️
We (Uncle Jimmy and cousins) understand what you are going through. We have sent a card by mail to be read during the Zoom service today, but we are concerned that it will not arrive in time.
Perhaps the following message can be read:
“Dear Ms. Barbara and family, we are praying for you and our family for the loss of our beloved Shirley Nelson.
There will be things that trigger tears
and things that bring laughter…
things that you never expected….
but they’ll gently remind you of all the wonderful details that made life with Shirley
such a precious gift.
May God hold you close to His heart, where He can feel your deepest loss and fill you with His deepest love.
THE GOD OF LOVE AND PEACE WILL BE WITH YOU.
1 CORINTHIANS 13:11 NIV
With love and support, Uncle Jimmy, Joy, Jean, Junnit, Jimmy Jr, Sherieda and Marlon”
