    Shirley and her family became important and a constant in my life 51 years ago when her brother Robert and I, worked part-time at the Racine Journal Times during our high school years. Shirley was always a quiet humble person, yet we always found something to talk about when would meet. To the family I’m sure you feel yet another void. I encourage you to remember Shirley’s love and the love of all your love one’s who have made transition will always remain with you, God is our healer, and comforter, even in times of grief. I love all of you and uplift to God for strength to make it through. I pray you feel the power of God wrapping his loving arms around you, God bless you

Testimonials

June 24, 2020

Can’t thank Gary and you all enough for our fathers funeral arrangements (Victor Joseph Morris) June 18th, 2020.
He would have been SO proud. So many little personal details that we were not even expecting, totally overwhelmed us. From the pamphlets to the thank-you notes and copies of the video, to the beautiful casket picture and arrangement. Pop looked as proud as he was in life. And thanks also to the very cooperative and helpful staff. We thought it would take much longer to knock this all out at our one and only meeting with Gary. We did not want to overlook, or forget to give our heartfelt thanks for such wonderful service at such a horrible time in our lives.
God Bless,
Bob Morris
