"I haved lived down the street from Shirley for the last 12 plus years. Oh how she loved Halloween. She would ask the kids to come in & had special packages waiting for them. We would also stop by to sell girl scout cookies and sit with her for awhile why the races were on the TV. She was so proud of her family. Photos all over and she would show me ones that she received in the mail. Unfortunately, I let life get in the way and have not been over there in a couple of years. I am sorry for your loss. She was a good woman. My God wrap his arms around you and comfort you during this difficult time. Dian Flora"
