Shirley also spent many hours working in her basement studio creating arts and crafts for loved ones, which we all cherish.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Dear Jim and Family:
We are so sorry to hear of Shirley’s passing. She was such a dear person and friend. Her spagetti was the best. When our mother passed, Shirley and you were so gracious to open your house for our relatives to come. Shirley will be missed. I was so glad to be able to attend the tea that was given in her honor.
Love, The Washingtons,
Alison, W.C. and Camden

Jim,
Our deepest sympathy and condolences. Our prayers are with you at this time. May God bless you and your family. I was so glad to see Shirley at a few Nuova Piccola Italia lodge meetings to share a few moments with all of us.
God Bless,

The Seahawks send our condolences to the Severino family.
I am so inspired, but not surprised by Shirley’s struggle with her illness. She brought humor into every situation and encouraged us all to do our best by her example. I treasure the conversations and fun times I had with her especially at family events and Sons of Italy events. I truly understand what a void the family faces with her passing, especially Jim. Sending my most heartfelt condolences.
I loved Shirley’s spunk and her wonderful art works and always enjoyed seeing her at family events. It seems impossible that she has left us already. To all her family, and especially to Jim, I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers at this painful time.
Our deepest condolences to you and your family. Our thought and prayers are with you at this tragic time of your loss.
Jim and Family
We were very sorry to hear about Shirley. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Samantha still has the Easter Bunny that Auntie Shirley painted for her many years ago when the whole family came to Vancouver for Easter. Think of the good memories and she will live in our hearts forever.
Love, Lenny, Patti, Samantha & Nicole
