I am so sorry to hear about Shirley's passing. She was my grandmother Patricia Ruby's best friend. Shirley was also with my mother during my mothers final days at hospice and was like a 2nd mother and grandmother to myself and mother. Sending thoughts and prayers to the family. May she rest in peace.
