Our sincerest, heartfelt condolences are sent to each of you. Since childhood, as members of Macedonia, the Jeffersons and Crews' have been like family. We remember fondly Shirley's being our youth choir soloist as we sang anthems ("Remember Now Thy Creator...") and for making us all very proud when she became the first African-American cheerleader at EC Roosevelt. She was always beautiful, caring, and kind.
May the Lord bless and keep each of you and cause His countenance to shine...
