Shirley was a wonderful cousin and baby sitter when I was a little kid. I’m currently living in California and have been here since 1976. The past few years Shirley was great at keeping in touch with me despite her problems with her computer…we laughed about that and compared notes often. She will be very much missed. I send lots of love and condolences to her daughter and son: my cousins: Susan and Gary!!!!
