For Shirley Carlson:
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother and grandmother. I know her health has been bad for a long time, and I know that her suffering is finally over. I want you all to know how much I adored Shirley. I always looked forward to her hair appointments. She had a great attitude and a wonderful sense of humor. She was grateful for the small things in life and she gave with her whole heart. She was very determined and she even made it in for a few hair appointments that I know were very difficult for her......but those were her last ones with me, and I have missed her dearly! I have thought of her often, and I have very fond memories of her and her stories. I know she will be greatly missed by all of you, and all who knew her. Our condolenses to the family and our prayers are with you.
