Anne, Linda and Sally,
I'm heartbroken to see this news – you all were my second family while growing up on Mussey Street, and Shirley was my second Mother.. She taught me so many things, particularly knitting (remember the little bells and yarn people for Christmas?). She was there when no one was at home for me – your place was my safe haven while my folks were at work. I so many fond memories of you all, and particularly of your Mom. My heart goes out for your loss. Please know that I'm thinking of you all and our best memories.
