My deepest sympathy to all of Shirley's family. She was a wonderful lively spirit in Beaver Dam and, I know, also a loving, wonderful mother. Both Jerry and I especially enjoyed visits from Scott and Ross during their school years -- I know they inherited their heart warming spirit from their mother. A donation will be sent to BDACT in her memory. Annette Kamps

It has been many years since I have last seen your family with the exception of Brenda at our annual Cousin's Day gathering. I have to tell you Shirley meant alot to me and I am so saddened. We so enjoyed our Cousin's day--talking, laughing about the good ole times, and eating. The next morning we would have breakfast and bid our farewells! The telephone was our source of keeping in touch! I loved Shirl, as I called her, and will miss her very much! My sympathy to all of you for your loss!

Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Thompson family. I grew up knowing Shirley, from the time i was 5 yrs old on. Even as an adult and I would see her she always had the biggest smile and time to talk to catch up on whats going on.
