I am thinking of all of you and wishing I could be there. I have such wonderful memories of Aunt Shirley. She was a fun aunt. She took great care of me when I was traveling in Europe, proiding special French experiences and doing my laundry. My thoughts and prayers are with you as we all go through this sad time of grief. Much love to the family, Cindy
