I send my condolences to the family. Miss Shirley was such a dear, sweetheart. She became my friend at Weis. When my son was little, she would always fuss over him, and I think we both enjoyed my visits so we could chat for a few. She always asked about him and where life had taken him. She was always interested in hearing about his adventures traveling, his wife, and his job. She always told me, "that´s a special boy you have." Yes, Miss Shirley, he is very special to me, and so we´re you! I will miss you but I have wonderful memories of my visits to the deli.

Shirley was always a bright spot in my day at work. We often talked about The Big Valley in Pa. since I traveled up to Hesston to stay on occasion. RIP
