Diane and family,

I had the pleasure of working with Shirley for many years, first at McClinch Equipment and then at United Rentals until her retirement. She was a great lady who kindly shared her copy of the Star and Enquirer with me every week. We shared thousands of good mornings over the years. Shirley-may you rest in peace and know I will never, ever forget you. You were one of a kind!

My Deepest Sympathy to you Diane and your family. I started working with Shirley in 1993 when I was first out of college. She was the one who showed me around the office and helped me with being the newcomer. I will always remember her for that and appreciate her friendship. I was just speaking of her recently and was very sad to learn of her passing. I always enjoyed her sparkling personality, quick wit and having a good laugh together. I am very sorry for your loss.
