Shirley was the best neighbor that I ever could have wished for. She was kind and giving, everyone knows that. For me personally, she was an angel who had a huge influence upon my early days. I was always welcome at the Bonazzoli table , and I grabbed a chair every chance I had to enjoy the amazing foods this woman could throw down.She was the definition of what is an American cook. She so casually blended her background with Gigi's world and made some phenomenal meals. If dining was not enough, she also allowed me free and unlimited access to her endless pantry. Man I hit that pantry a lot in the late 70's. I still remember the day we nearly cleaned out the freezer at Victory market so we could enjoy a crab boil at the lake! So as I think of these great times, I have to thank Shirl for helping me realize that cooking is my passion. She taught me that simplicity is better and food should be enjoyable to those lucky souls at the table. Gigi is also to be thanked for he taught me that chicken should always be cooked over a wood fire. So I have been a chef now for 30+ years and I do hold dear all that I learned from this lovely lady. I can close my eyes and taste those butternut squash gnocchi in browned butter, fried green beans and rhubarb pie. Sure there are more meals to recall, but these were my favorites and I still can't duplicate those darn gnocchi! So this rotten kid from across the street will miss your "Golden Girl" glasses and wit, but am happy inside when I am in your kitchen.
Love to all of you.

Gigi and family, I have so many wonderful memories of my growing-up years living next door to you and Shirley. When you started your family, I was their babysitter. I would stay with Shirley when you would go to the Cape for work. We would have such fun! She taught me to knit and make her delicious Mac and cheese. Whenever I babysat, that was what she always made me and the kids for dinner. You both hold a special place in my heart. Shirley was a very special lady. She always looked so beautiful.
She will be missed by so many people. She is now in the loving arms of Jesus and at peace. Please know that our thoughts , prayers and love are with you all during this difficult time. With Much Love, Nick and Carolyn Zayka
