Dear Tim,

You, your children, your grandchildren, and Shirley's mother and brother have my deepest sympathy. Even after all these years and even after not seeing each other very often, Shirley always had and always will have a special place in my memories. . . just as you do (coming over to my house to play football with my father in our backyard!)The best memories I have of Shirley are connected to her beauty - not just on the outside, but on the inside. She was fun loving (I was with her the first time I cut school our senior year: getting waitresses from the Aunt Jemima's Pancake House in Bexley to call us in absent at Hartley and going up to OSU for the day - in her black convertible) and a good friend when it was needed the most (her slumber parties were the best).

Take care. All of you are in my prayers.
