My deepest sympathy to Shirley and Frank's children. I've lived across the street for most of my life so I knew the both of them very well. It saddened me to hear the death of Shirley, but I know she is with Frank in a better place. God Bless...

Neal, Mark, Rita, and Lisa,
Please accept our deepest condolences. Your mother was a fantastic woman. She was so kind to us from the day we moved next door. She was friendly, sincere, and sharp witted. We were very sad when we learned of her death. We will miss her greatly.

My deepest sympathies to all of you on the loss of your Mom. She was a wonderful woman who was always very kind to me. She made our neighborhood a great place to grow up. Fond memories of "home" include memories of "Mrs. D"!
