My husband Joel and I met Mrs. Shackleford in the late 1980s. Not only were we customers of hers, but we considered her our friend. We moved from Richmond to NC in 1992, and used to stop and visit her on our annual trips through VA to visit family in the Northeast. I think of her every time we go through Richmond. I'm sad that we won't be able to stop and see her anymore. Our thoughts are with you.
