I was under Shirley's care at Kildonan in the late 90's- not as a student, but a new teacher, learning from the absolute best. She was literally the best human I ever knew, seeping with kindness and light. Her joyous laugh would light up a room and her curiosity and enthusiasm was infectious. I loved watching children lean into her kindness like a warm fire. It felt like magic. It was such a gift to be in her presence and learn from her.
