Jamie and Children,
I am very sorry to hear of Mr. Shirley's passing. He was a good friend during the time we worked together at Family Mart and Kroger until his retirement. He always listened to me when I needed someone to talk to. I know you will miss him and we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
