Lisa...Shiney was my dad's secretary at Petg. Ford...when it was Petg. Motor Co.....(dad was George Bass). We had so many laughs from her and we were also friends with Mooney! We were like one big happy family.I loved her like a 'second' mother and she went through many of my dad's 'crisis/problems' with him and always was there to lend her support. My deepest sympathy to your loss for your mom as well as your grandmother.
