I don´t read the paper anymore and had no idea Shirley had left us. My deepest sympathies to her family. She was always kind and thoughtful to me as a neighbor. We spoke many times out at the fence and I sat on her porch a few times, she was very dear. I´ll miss her this summer riding the golf cart around the neighborhood. God be with her family.
