    On behalf of the Hendren family, I would like to offer sincere condolences to Shirley’s family. Jim Hendren wanted to come to the memorial service but his wife Bev is in the University hospital in Saskatoon and he could not get away.Jim and Ruth were friends of Shirley. Pat and Esther Hendren and family lived on the farm just across the road from the Elliott’s.
    Yours truly,
    Doris Still

    Dave and Family . My deepest condolences to loss of Shirley. During the short time I knew her she was always a kind and caring person but not afraid to tell us when we needed to be told. Especially when a goal had been scored against us.
