IN MEMORIAM SHIRLEY ANNE PALMER
On Tuesday, January 25, 2000 a little girl names Shirley Anne Palmer
lost her life trying to save her brother who fell through the icy waters near the Cottage Street Bridge in Great Barrington, MA. Our brothers and sisters in the Fire / EMS / Law Enforcement volunteered and spent endless hours and days trying to find Shirley Palmer.
This little girl was special to all of us, because it reminds us of our children back home and how precious they are to us,and how fast we can loose them. Our thoughts and Prayers go out to her family and friends during their time of loss and grief.
SHIRLEY PALMER August 11,1994 - January 25,2000
