Please accept my deepest condolences on your sad loss. Shirley was a very active and outgoing lady as I recall her happily chauffeuring Greg to Chaput for tutoring.
May she Rest In Peace.

I grew up a couple doors away from Mrs. Nicholls on Algonquin. Well the whole Nicholls clan. They have been in my life all my life. They still are.

I am sad to learn of Mrs. Nicholls passing and I send my love and hugs to Debbie and Gary and their families.

Mr. and Mrs. Nicholls crafted pieces of who I am today. I wear these pieces with honour and beautiful memories.

The memory that jumps out for me, is the Christmas gatherings. As friends we would start a Christmas house hopping evening with the Nicholls. We all were welcome. We all shared drinks and laughs. Mr and Mrs Nicholls right in the middle. These 2 wonderful people are together again with so many of their friends. Probably looking down smiling at the wonderful family that lives on.

I can’t even capture all the moments your mom and I had over the years, as neighbours,
first, then just besties for many years to follow. I always enjoyed our Timmies coffee break. Shirley loved a good chuckle and had a great sense of humour. Hugs to you all
