Shirley was a beloved friend to my mom, ever generous & kind. Their shared times in Newton & on the Vineyard added a dimension of deep joy to each of their lives.
Feldmans all together were wonderful family friends in the 50's, 60's, 70's and beyond for Flaschners of all generations. Sweet memories of a lovely lady. Ronnie Flaschner

Shirley was such a chic lady. When she moved to Kendal on Hudson I used to love watching her waltz down the hallway to the dining room, in her magnificent hats. She is such a beautiful lady. Even now when I think about her I smile. She makes everyone smile. I will miss you Shirley. Peace be with you.
