I’m so sorry to hear of Shirley’s passing. We shared many fun times together in our younger years, and although we drifted apart as adults—as people sometimes do—we reconnected later in life with occasional phone calls. She always spoke with such love and pride about her boys.

Shirley was a wonderful person who overcame many hardships with strength and grace. I know her family will miss her deeply.

With sympathy,
Cynthia Fuller
