Mrs Shulenberg was a wonderful woman, and my grandmother's best friend (Irene O'Brien of National Street). I can still remember how she would call out to us from her window when we went to visit. And for one of my birthdays, she and my grandmother took me to Nantucket for the day. She will be sorely missed by all.
