Shirley was a great friend and sister to Karen & Kris. I spent many great times with her above ground and caving. She taught me much about loving the dogs that need the love the most.
Shirley and I both loved Matt Smith’s Doctor. And this quote, From “Vincent and the Doctor” is a description of Van Gogh from scholar Dr. Black (Bill Nighy) that could apply to Shirley so well:
He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world…
Shirley did that every day. Despite the most awful migraines imaginable, she brought life, and love, and learning into the lives of all the touched.
I am blessed to have known her, and damned never to know her again. I hope I am wrong and she is right, and we will meet again in some afterlife, complete with all the dogs.
