I last spoke with Shirley many years ago during a visit to our home on Victor Street in Albany. Shirley always had a happy smile and joyful spirit, and, enjoyed a special bond with my mother, Ann Luzinski Sanders, whom she called "Auntie Ann." She had a genuine love for her siblings, mother and grandmother, and a total love and devotion to her husband and sons. Now, rest in peace, Shirley. My deepest sympathy to the whole family.
