1. Shirley will always be my trendy Aunty Shirley who was so bubbly, positive and I will always remember her infectious smile and laughter. You will live on in my heart.

   You created such joy in many people’s lives, including with my children when they were younger.

   You are going to be greatly missed by all those who knew you. Glad you are no longer in pain.
   Sending love and air hugs to Bill, Amber and your family.

   Love Lisa, Grahame, Ben, Dylan & Imogene

2. You have left us with so many special memories that will stay close to our hearts forever. Like when the boys were little playing pirates, looking for treasure not realising the treasures was their great aunty putting a smile on their faces making memories. Those we love don't go away they walk beside us everyday. Sending lots of love to Bill, Amber, James, Tom, and extended family.
   ❤️ Shaun, Rachael, Liam, Jai and Caitlyn.

   She was instrumental in designing and working in the Gellibrand community Garden. She put many hours of work into the garden. I am going to miss you Shirley

5. Remembering the Birregurra days, midnight feasts, at 10 pm because we couldn’t wait! Riding our bikes over the hill picking mushrooms that I didn’t even eat. Those were the days. Sympathy to Bill and Amber.
