Shirley was a beautiful person. She did not pretend to be anything other than herself. She was always accepting of anyone regardless of their shortcomings. What I admired most was her amazing ability to spread joy and laughter to any person she may have encountered in her life. Funny thing is that she remembered everything! e.g., birthdays, names of all the pets I owned over the years, but most of all jokes. She told jokes to anyone who would listen, she loved to hear people laugh. She invested in making people laugh, she cared deeply for others including fir -babies, she was the most beautiful woman I have ever known and she will be greatly missed. Tamell Jason-Heitman
