The above was not only a very special friend but a mentor.How can I say this, except she was a friend a Mother figure and a wise woman.
I have not found many like her since I came to live in Australia so her friendship was cherished and her advice even more so. We also shared a weird sense of humour
I can only say I shall miss her so very much but I was also fortunate to know her.
The world is full of millions of people,we all need and thrive on
emotional support of others. So in saying farewell to Shirley a little bit of us dies.Farewell

Prema’s Poem
“ I like theses words love”
Rest in Natural Great Peace
This exhausted mind
Beaten helplessly by karma
And neurotic thoughts
Like the relentless fury
Of the pounding waves
In the infinite ocean of Samsara (The Whole)
Rest in Natural Great Peace. Rest

We are so sorry of the passing away of Shirley. She moved next door to us about 12 years ago. Shirley was one of the nicest neighbours that we have ever had. She was a beautiful strong lady and made many friends at Carlyle. She was like an older sister to us and it was a pleasure to spend time with her. We will miss her and always remember her. Rest in Peace. Love Cyril & Lorraine.

“Shirley was a beautiful woman & I was proud & fortunate to be her friend. Shirley taught me what a friend meant. She seemed to know just when you needed a lift up & she was there”
“Shirley was so hugely loved and admired here at the Village & elsewhere it seems. Her kindness to me & my late husband was very much appreciated & we loved her dearly. I was so comforting to have her sensible yet at times humorous character so near at hand. I loved her for all of it. She will Rest In Peace & never be forgotten”
Shirley Fletcher, Sri Prema-Mata Aranya, was my good friend, Yoga teacher, and mentor from 1981 until the time of undergoing the Great Transition. We all loved her at Yoga. Swami was a woman of great dignity and always respected others, thinking the best in all of us
