We hope you and your family find comfort in knowing that she touched the lives of so many and those memories will be cherished for ever. No one could have done more for a loved one than you did for Shirley. Being able to remain in her home and receiving the care, love and respect of people who knew her the best. Shirley was extremely lucky to have such a wonderful family which is a direct reflection of the person she was. You have to give love to receive love and she most truly did that. Take Care and we hope our paths can cross many times in the future. Rodney & Ellen Tuner & Family Lincoln NE.
