"I just heard about the loss of Shirley. I have known her for so many years through all her wonderful children and grandchildren coming to A Child's Place. She was a great mother and grandmother and I always enjoyed talking with her about them. I will miss that and I will miss her. God bless to all of you. Ann Hart "
