I had the privlige to know and work with Shirley at the DMV Winnetka office for about two years. I know many others knew her for a much longer time. In that short time she was a delight to see almost every day at work. Her kindess extended to all she encountered, whether a customer, or coworker. I wish to extend to all her family my deepest condolences.
