Shirley Wang Ling

Dr. Ling and Family,
I was so sad to receive the call from mom and dad that Mrs. Ling has passed. I was blessed to have known her and all of her wonderful talents! May all of your wonderful memories carry you through the difficult days ahead.

Love to all
Daughter of Carlton and Geraldine Hazlewood

To the Ling family,
I was very sad to learn of Mrs Ling's passing. I grew up on wonderful Berkeley Road and had - what I appreciated more later - the privilege of studying piano with Shirley for seven or eight years. I clearly remember your warm home, many recitals, and your dogs. I remember traveling to NYC for the Carnegie Hall concert. I can't believe a teacher of Mrs Ling's caliber had the patience for me. I recently found the story of her journey from China in the UW alumni...

I am extremely shocked and sadden to learn of the death of Shirley Ling. I so enjoyed her music and I did speak with her on Sundays when I heard her perform. It was often her music, more than a sermon, which drew me to the Sunday Service. I am certain that she also touched many more hearts than just mine.

I know that Shirley will be missed by a lot of people, both at Main Line and a multitude of other places. I didn't know her as a personal friend but her music was close to me...

Dear Gilbert,

I was so sad to hear of Shirley's passing. I have enjoyed her fine performances at Bryn Mawr Music Study Club and elswhere for some 30 years. I was a member of MLUC and admired her and her family there as her beautiful children grew up. Her musicianship and superb preparation and memorization skills were awe- inspiring.
She had such an aura of dignity in her life and throughout her illness. She was so generous in lending her talents to most every meeting,...

I have very fond memories of the Ling family growing up together on Berkley Road in Merion. I always loved the sound of piano coming from the living room and the wonderful smell of food cooking in the house. To this day I especially remember Tim as one of my best childhood friends. My condolences to the Ling family.

We will always remember our trip to Salzburg, Munich and Vienna. We enjoyed Shirley and Gilberts company.

Eva and family,We will always have fond memories of hangin out at your parent's pool. Wishing you strength at this difficult time.
