There are people you meet along the way who radiate sunshine and Shirley was one of them. How I cherish memories of our friendship and happy days in San Antonio with the DBE. Time spent with Shirley inspired laughter, singing, dancing, and all things British. One song will always remind me of Shirley and the DBE....We'll Meet Again (Vera Lynn)....here's the link...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrgqGA-oFkU. Sending love and prayers.
