Shirley, Tracey, Sarah, Nicolette and I have been friends since 1998, sharing laughs, worries, lunches, dinners and trips to pubs, beaches, incredibly rude jokes, selfies and get togethers and chicken nuggets with the kids after school, until they all grew up and we could get away for our days out in Brighton. Shirley was such a kind, funny, wise friend to us all. Often giving the best advice, sometimes arriving late (occasionally on the wrong day! 😄) and always being such wonderful company. We will miss her more than we can say and I really hope she knew how special she was to us all - I think she did. Rest in peace, dearest Shirley and may Tony, Laura, your family and many friends find strength. We will always hold you in our hearts. XXXXX
