Shirley signature on Canadian $2 bill "When I looked down at the $2 bills, this name was on the bill," Wells said. "Shirley was on the bill."

That got her attention because her late mother's name was Shirley.

She then studied the bill and said to Brennan.

"I think that's my mother's signature on a $2 bill," Brennan says.

Wells' mother has been dead for 12 years, but she recognized her handwriting right away.
