I worked with Shirley at Computervison, she was always there to help, share a laugh and be a great friend and co-worker. I am sure that Shirley's family are remembering all the good times they shared.

Shirley was such a sweet, kind person everytime I saw her.

She and my dad Bernie Silveria were cousins. I called to let him know and he wanted me to send his condolences (he now lives in FL) to all of you. He has fond memories of your Mom/Grammy.
