On Behalf of all StarTran Paratransit Drivers, Shirley will be Missed Immensely. I for one when I saw her name come up on my Tablet I was excited to pick her up!!! I truly enjoyed her conversations during her ride,the love she had for her family was greatly expressed many times. Jerry was always a fun topic to talk about, between his bowling & bike riding adventures.!! She was a SPECIAL LADY AND I WILL TRULY MISS HER!!

Shirley was such a wonderful lady. She always made all of us friends of Kevin feel so welcome. She always had a smile on her face and always loved having us over and just made us feel like we were part of the family. She will be missed.
