Shirley was my mom's best friend. Theyu worked together at St John's business office. Shirley brought my mother out of her shell. They had so much fun together. Shirley was the one who talked my mother into getting her hair dyed red. Shirley brought me my first tinted lip gloss, and a shaver, The Flicker. We still have the sofa table my mom got from Shirley, and Jim still has your mother's and Babe' bedroom set. Beautiful memories of a beautiful lady.

I always thought Shirley was so glamorous. She really was. My mom Judy Call and Shirley were very good friends as we lived on Wildon Ave. together. They used to have the best basement sales. My sister and I loved looking through all Shirley's cool stuff. I have so many fond memories growing up with Shirley in our lives.

Sweet Shirley and Loretta were my exercise buddies yrs ago. Such a hoot they were and she was a classy redhead back then. What a blessing to have this beautiful woman in the lives of those who love her for so many years. My sympathy.
