I was very sad to hear of Shirley’s passing. I hadn’t seen her in years, but have fond memories of when we were classmates at Little Red School. I remember her big smile and gentle, sweet personality. She had challenges, but she was a superb athlete and always one of the first to be picked when choosing teams at recess. She was a fantastic softball player. Such a sweet soul gone too soon.
