I am so saddened by her death. I knew Shirley for perhaps 5 years; and in that time got to know her as a wonderful mom, grandma and great, grandma. I fondly recall many mornings sitting around the ‘kitchen’ table at the campground drinking coffee (me and Connie) and having breakfast simply talking and learning and listening. Both my grandmas I didn’t know well -I was 8 when one died, the other was moved way-out (from Brooklyn, anyway) to NJ, so talking and listening to OG was akin to having a grandma. I will surely miss Shirley and her laugh; I know I was positively touched and consider myself fortunate to know her. She always was a bit nervous when I hugged her - said she literally would be crushed if I fell on her. I promised I wouldn’t fall on her, then she would laugh that infectious laugh.
God bless Shirley and may she Rest in Eternal Peace.
