It was back in the late 1970s that I taught with Shirley. She was an amazing teacher and a fun, positive and dedicated colleague. We kept in touch for a few years, but fell out of touch over time. I am sad to hear of her passing but know that her family was very important to her. Rest in Peace Shirley. Condolences to Ross and family.

I have fond memories of our annual meetings to prepare Shirley's tax returns, lovely lady, she loved teaching the little ones for which I am sure they are thankful to this day. Our condolences to the family and especially to Ross. George Duska and Ilene too.

I only spoke with Shirley a few times over the years yet felt a remarkable warmth and understanding from her. She will stay with us in our hearts and minds. Sympathy to all the family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Shirley was such a kind soul and such an interesting person to speak to. She had such wonderful stories to share and she had an incredible listening ear. She will be missed so very much.
