To the Usher Family,
Please accept our sincere sympathy during this very sad time. Shirley was a lovely, cultured lady who earned our deep respect and affection during the time we were fortunate to have Shirley and Orville as our next-door neighbors in Park Place in Wasaga Beach. During the time we knew Shirley, she handled her severe health problems with grace and courage and despite what she was going through, she was always kind to us. We’re sure these last years must have been very sad for all of you and we know there are really no words that can be said to ease the grief of losing such a beloved member of your family. The dear couple who bought and have loved your house, Orville, are now forced to move into assisted living in Barrie just as Don and I must face the same situation in the not-too-distant future. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your lovely family, Orville, and we will always have happy memories of our time next door to you and Shirley.
Sincerely,
Don and Vivian
