To Bob and Family: I was truly saddened to learn of "Shirley's Passing"... My mother "Patty McCormick" and Shirley were good friends. Im thinking that their firendship dates back to 1968 when Patty and Shirley were involved in the "cursillo" (catholic retreat) movement. They were both good friends with Msngr. Paul Connolly. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. RIP Shirley...You were a 'kind and compasionate" person..
