I was friends with Shay in the 9th grade. Then I reconnected with her and met George at my first marathon, Big Sur, in the early 90's. It was like 25+ years stood still. They treated me like a long-time friend. I have often thought of that terrific day. George, Ian and Sean - I share your loss.

Im Abendrot - from Joseph von Eichendorff
Vier letzte Lieder of Richard Strauss

In sorrow and in joy
we have gone hand in hand;
we are resting after our travels
above the quiet countryside

The valleys fall away around us

two solitary larks climb dreamily
up into the evening haze

Come close and let them soar,
soon it will be time to go to sleep;
Let us not go astray
in this solitude

My step sister...Shay was so supportive of my kids, and the Nelson family. We so enjoyed her family, her brilliance, and sincerity. Im so sorry to loose her. My sympathies go out to George who has been a huge influence on her quality of life during the big fight.

A rich, generous, eventful life. May she rest in peace up in Heaven where she clearly deserves to reside.

The precious memories of Shay Hirsch will bring you comfort. Although you are grieving now, you can have hope. God will comfort and bless you at this critical time. Complete reliance on "the God of all comfort" will help you to endure the loss of your loved one.
