I met Shirley up at the gym about 11 years ago, she has been like a mother to me . She truly was a wonderful person. We will always remember our trip to Aruba with her and her daughter Leslie. All our dinners, christmas parties, late night phone calls and talks about everything and any thing. Now I say thank you shirley for being my friend, I will never forget you and the memories will be in my heart forever . Missing you already. Love always DAVE AND LORETTA MALSON.
