John (& family), So sorry to hear the news. Shirley was a great gal and friend. I haven't been around much these last weeks because I was real sick for practically the whole month of February with bronchitis and then flu... didn't think anyone in your household needed those germs. Spent this whole month catching up with myself. John, I will visit soon and more often as things calm down for me; and you please stay in touch as well! Let me know if there's anything I can do. My best wishes for the whole family, along with God's Blessings.
