has it been a year ? I hope that all is well with Rocky and all of the beautiful O'Rourkes. Shirley was so dedicated to all of you. I can remember at High Tech how she would chatter about how all of her kids and grandkids were her pride and joy.
I am sure that you miss her so -

Shirley was the greatest. I worked with her for many years at High Tech Packaging. Never a dull moment when Shirley was around. Her never ending smile and positive demeanor - she was a great Mom and a better friend. Miss you Shirls !!
