    I loved Shirley so much. She was one of the kindest, most genuine person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I can’t imagine the pain for the Howell family now and forever. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
    Love,

    Shirley was a very kind and good person. She was the most loyal friend anyone could ever have. We had many great adventures during high school. She will certainly be missed.

    Shirley was my best friend for elementary school to high school. We were always at one anothers house. Doing school activities and many socilial activities together. Her mom and dad were my second family and i grew up with Debbie and grandma. We suffered the death of our grandmothers together and the joys of life as well. She married the aIr force and i married the marine corps and we split apart. Talked with my friend several times during the years and talked of kids then grandkids. God definitualy got an angel with Shirley. My thoughts and ptayers are with her family, God be with each and everyone of you, my heart and thoughts are with yall
