My sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Shirley A. Harrison. The death of our loved ones is very difficult and painful. It has helped myself and others when we remember that the deceased rest in the loving memory of our Grand Creator Jehovah God. Waiting for the fulfillment of the resurrection on a peaceful earth. (John 5:28 & 29, Acts 24:15, Psalm 37:29)

Dear Al, Benn, Christine,
I am so very sorry to hear about Shirley. I saw her in the mall a few months ago and caught up with news regarding our families. She was so excited about her grand daughter and had several photos in her phone.
Shirley was always so friendly and had that huge smile for all. I am so sorry for your loss and know she will be missed by all.
Again, my condolences and prayers. May God bless you all.

To all of Shirley's family & friends: I am so very sorry for your loss. I had the joy of working with Shirley at Arkansas Insurance Dept. / Risk Mgmt. She was so kind, generous & sweet and she was always smiling. She dressed so nicely it was hard to keep up with her sometimes although I tried I could not do it. I just loved working with her - she was such a great help around here. I will never forget her. God bless all of you at this sad time.
