Mrs. Shorley was truly a wise, beautiful, caring woman who I had the privilage of knowing as I was growing up. She was a working mother of 8 children who always had room for one more when we would stop by unannounced at dinner time, or to spend the night. My sincere heart felt sorrow goes out to the Shorley family for this great loss of their mother, but she is now at peace with God….
