I had the opportunity as a social worker to work with Shirley while she was a resident of Arbor Trace. She was a delightful lady. Shirley will be missed greatly. My thoughts and prayer are with the family!

Aunt Sheryl always had a smile when I'd come over, and their door was always open. Her love for our family made me proud to be a FALCONE.... Tom
