Dear cousins,
I enjoyed learning more about Shirley's life in the obituary that you prepared. Thank you.
She was humble, incredibly accomplished, devoted to her family and humanity. Shirley has my highest respect.
She and Bob looked after sister Helen and I very well as teenagers when we arrived in Calgary on the greyhound bus in the summer of 1970 I believe. We were very well entertained and cared for despite all their other responsibilities.
Many years later, I kidded Shirley about assuming her name after divorcing and myself becoming Shirley Murray. She told me she didn't mind and that it had served her well.
When Momma, Dorothy Murray Peters, died (May 13, 2016), dear Shirley traveled to be with us from Calgary even though she was 80 years old at the time. It touched my heart to see her with brother Garnet making the last farewell walk.
Shirley was David and Mary Murray's first grandchild wasn't she?
Fondest Regards to all of our relations.
Shirley Peters Olson (I never did change my name)
