Shirley will be dearly missed by me and all the people to whom she gave endless amounts of her time to, especially on the phone. She would listen and be able sum up the situation and offer valuable insight. A well respected woman who made the best spaghetti sauce and made special pizzitelles for Christmas along with her daughters. Family was everything to Shirley and she made me feel like family. I thank God for bringing her into my life.
