Guestbook

  1. When I think of Sister Shirley, I think of a ladies prayer service several years ago, where Sister Shirley asked that the ladies pray for her to be more humble. My jaw dropped! I remember saying, ” Sister Shirley, you can’t get any more humble ” She was always a vision of humbleness!
    Pure sweetness.
    An inspiration of a true Proverbs 31 woman.

  2. I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Williamson was such a sweet, caring lady. I know she will be missed greatly. Love and prayers to the family during this difficult time.

  3. Sister Shirley, sweet on the inside and out, a light to all she met, reaching out with God’s love. I loved her dearly and love her family, while yet heartbroken, I celebrate her life, her life was dedication to Jesus and her family. Miss Sister Shirley and her loving hugs ❤️
