Thank you for welcoming me into your family! 27 years have just flown by and I must say that we know you are at peace and that you are with Les, the love of your life!!! I can still hear Les doing something wrong and you calling him out for it and then laughing about it later. Shirley, the knitting you produced over the years that not only helped those in need, but also as gifts for your 3 kids and 4 grandkids was so appreciated and won't be forgotten. Just this past Christmas you made those really cool multi-coloured toques and pairs of socks for my kids. You never forgot a birthday, and made Christmas special for the kids, and always enjoyed talking about the weather. We always knew that the most important day of the week was your Sunday mornings. Getting ready for Church and being an active member of the choir and UCW meant so much to you. Choir practice and hanging out with your friends at Church were so important to you. When your breath wouldn't allow you to sing in the choir anymore it just wasn't fair. We attended your final time at Church and Craig was right beside you helping all the way and making sure you were comfortable. I feel bad that Madison, Josh and Jake will not have more time to spend with you. You always made sure my kids got to come up for summer Bible Camp. We'll always remember your famous turkey dinners and dressing, especially the gravy, and who could forget your famous cole slaw. I could go on and on, my point to everyone that reads this is to live life to the fullest and be like Shirley, give back to the community and always be there to help your family and those people in need. Thank you for everything, Cliff.

Dear David, Diane, and Craig: Jim and I were very sorry to hear of Aunt Shirley's death. When someone dies, a lot of memories come flooding back. As a little girl, I was somewhat afraid of Aunt Shirley, but as I grew older, I realized that there was absolutely nothing to be scared of. She was a lovely lady, kind and caring and considerate. One of my favourite times was when she and Uncle Les came to stay with us in Fergus one summer, many years ago. They set up their camper in our back yard, Uncle Les cleaned out the garage and Aunt Shirley cooked supper for all of us while we were at work. Uncle Les said that there would be more time for a game of euchre if the chores were done. And now they're back together, may they rest in peace.

I just learned of the passing of my dear friend, Shirley Johnson, wife of previously deceased husband, Les Johnson as their son called to notify me this Sunday morning. I was very saddened and shocked as I did not know Shirley was in any way that ill at this time. Apparently, it all happened very quickly. I had talked to Shirley a couple times not that long ago and she explained about one thing that was bothering her but as she said "I am hanging in their Paul and the kids have been very helpful to me." Shirley, Les and I go way back to when I was growing up as a youngster and husband Les was hired by my father as a chauffeur to look after me, taking me to and from school every day. All during those wonderful days, I eventually came to meet Shirley when my dad provided Leaf hockey tickets to them and had them take me and a friend to all the Leaf home games for a few years. Shirley was a great hockey fan and cheered the Leafs on every week when we all of us went to the Wednesday and Saturday Leaf home games. I remember some nights when the Leafs lost and on the drive home, Shirley would often point out and correctly so, why the Leafs got into Trouble that night. She really knew her hockey and we had lots of laughs together in those car rides both to and from the games.In those years and those drives to and from the games, I got to know her very well. Shirley was a wonderful, kind and caring lady to all that knew her and she took great care of husband Les when he started to go down hill.I remember talking to her on several occasions when Les started having his problems.She was his rock. In my last call with Shirley, we both agreed that once the winter started to clear up and the roads got better, I would come down and visit with her. Regrettably, that can't happen now and I am very sad about that. However now Shirley is out of her pain and in a better place.She has a lovely family and many friends who will give her a glorious send off on Wednesday.I will always remember the fun times that Shirley, Les and I had in those years. Shirley will be remembered by many and forgotten by none.
