While spending a few months at Parakeet Park in Lake Wales, we had the pleasure of meeting Shirley and Earl. Baking wonderful cookies and mixing up fabulous candies made the sweet couple a popular pair in the park. What a surprise when we found out they were from Milan and we lived down the road in Sandusky.
Shirley dearly missed Earl and now they are reunited. We will miss them both.
Our prayers are with the Dickman family.

Always enjoyed Shirley's company when my Mom (Katie Rouse), Shirley and other females friends would have me drive them down home to Amish country for the day to visit family. Shirley and Earl were both good friends to my Mom!
