Shirley's love and friendship over the years will be in my heart forever.... She was a joy to everyone who knew her....

Another June arrives and with it another chance to say how much I loved and miss Shirley.... The pain of her loss never goes away....

Thinking of you this 2020 Christmas, Shirley... You always knew how to cheer me up... Love and miss you always...

I still love you forever.

Shirley...you are always in my thoughts. I still remember our late night cyber talks & your restaurant suggestions for my trips...but most of all, I remember how proud you were of being a mom & grandmother...And a Giants fan! I miss you, dear friend! xoxo kathie

I still smile every time I think of Shirley and how engaging and thoughtful and fun she was with every tour group of women I brought to San Francisco. She and I became close friends and our husbands even joined us a few times for dinner. I still pull out her cookbook when I feel like cooking one of my favorite Asian dishes. You will always have a place in my fondest memories and my heart, Shirley.

I was saddened to hear the loss of Shirley. I worked with her briefly at Levi Strauss & Co. I took an evening cooking class from her after work. She made a very lasting impression on me. Loved her relationship with her daughter. I found that she passed as I wanted to suggest Wok Tours to a friend. So I googled her name to get the phone number and came across this. RIP Shirley
