Shirley Case Tribute

shirley was so many things....to try and describe her is like trying to write a thesis on the back of a stamp. what a dear friend, our friendship spanned a decade and several continents. we always managed to stay connected, often sharing our joys, heartaches, and hilarities over emails/msgnr. shirley was one of the brightest lights, such a positive and energetic giver. such a great sense of humour and humility. she always encouraged me to fully experience life and be open to learning and change. it's been over a year since she's been gone and i think of her everyday still. i think all of us struggle to understand the world today and somehow move forward with hope and forgiveness in our hearts. your sacrifice will not be in vain. i love you shirley girly.
