Although she passed away 5 years ago and I just learned about her passing now, I would like to express my deepest appreciation for her love and friendship way back in the Philippines. Had I known she was in San Francisco I would have re-connected with her, as I was living in the Bay Area then. Adios, Ate Shirley, but not goodbye. Until we meet again.
