I am so very sorry and shocked to hear of Shirley's passing. My groomer told me today. I was just at Doc Allen's last week and had no idea. I simply have no words, other than nothing but admiration and I'm so sad I missed the opportunity to show my respects. Much love and heartfelt prayers to the whole family.
