The Perfect Gift Shop Took a Hard Hit

[Verandah Man]

I posted the following message on another thread, but incase you didn't see it, I thought I would start this thread. Shirley did say that there were some messages for her on her cell phone from some fellow DIS'ers, but she couldn't make out what was said. Shirley's first question to me was: "Is there any word on when the Magic and Wonder would be sailing?" I guess Shirley had baskets to deliver, but wasn't sure when to try and deliver them.

Shirley just called me back, she was able to find a store open and get herself a cup of coffee, now all is well. Shirley and Norm will be back at the shop on Tuesday to clean up the mess.


I'm on the phone (cell number below) with Shirley right now. The shop took a hard hit and Shirley was hit in the head with a flying object, but she said she was O.K. and she sends her love and best to all.

Shirley has not had power for three days, but she was able to charge up her cell phone with the car charger.

Shirley and Norm are taking care of several elderly people that live in her condo building because the people didn't have anywhere to go.

Shirley said if anyone is stranded and needs help with a place to stay, they can try and reach her on her cell at 321-508-2246. Shirley said that the Cocoa Beach area will be opened in about one hour.

This storm took a toll on Shirley emotionally, and I'm sure she would appreciate all your prayers.

Andy,

Haven't been on the cruise boards lately, but I just saw your message about Shirley & Norm. Leave it to her to be concerned about others during this awful time. I don't know if she'll remember my family when we all met at the Raddison, but if she gets this message....We are thinking of her and wish them and all others affected by these hurricanes all the best!

We have family down there too, but all seemed to have survived with minor damage, thank goodness! My mother is still holed up in Georgia, but she is hoping to get home to Lady Lake tomorrow.

Take care all!

Dear Andy -

Thank you so much for posting this update.............Shirley and Norm are so special and I have been worried about them and the Perfect Gift. With typical grace, dignity and fortitude, they are caring for others while still trying to "get the job done" for the next group of DCL cruisers. I consider myself so blessed to have met folks like Shirley and Norm through the DIS. Pete Werner, his staff and the DIS have really created something / someplace wonderful here.

I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. Take care -

Take care Shirley and Norm! Bless you for what you are doing to help others.

Shirly & Norm,

I am glad to hear you are all right. I hope that you take some time for yourselves after all this. Prayers, big time for you guys, and everyone else in Florida.

 

[CRSNDSNY]

We're thinking of you Shirley & Norm!

 

[disny4ever]

Shirley and Norm, can all of us do anything to help you out and get the shop up and running again? Just let us know!

 

[KaitlinsMom]

Andy, that brought tears to my eyes - To think that Shirley & Norm "took a hit" - on them emotionally -

I will put them in my prayers during what must be a trying time for them and others in Florida -

Might want to let Shirley know of the latest update on the DCL site. I posted it as a new thread. Appears the Magic will be sailing from Ft. Lauderdale and not Port Canaveral tomorrow.

Was glad to see they made it through alright.

Thanks, I just called and left a message on Shirley's voice mail.

Our prayers and wishes are with Norm and Shirley too. Makes me wish I lived a lot closer so we could extend more of a helping hand!

Thanks for the update Andy!

My prayers are with Shirley and Norm. Yes I can see them watching out for others even as they have problems of their own.

We are due to sail on this Saturday's Magic if all goes well. I had hoped to stop by and thank Shirley for all her help. Is there anyway that we can help her?

 

[videoman]

Both Norm & Shirley still remain in our prayers!!!!!

God Bless Them Both!
