What a privilege its been to have had Shirley as my sister and best friend. We've laughed, danced and cried together down the years and much much more. She's always looked out for me and one of my abiding memories is being about 5 years old and Shirley pinning a much bigger boy up against a lamp post and telling me to punch him (he'd been picking on me) Needless to say he never hit me again!!!
My beautiful Shirley was kind, loving, strong, fearless and brave and I'm going to miss her terribly and I hope that where ever she's gone she's partying with Mum, Dad, Helen and Big Al.... Sleep tight xxx
