Shirley and I started out as business associates............we quickly became friends. I quickly learned how much honesty and integrity one person could possess while at the same time how much compassion one person could have. She was witty, ambitious, and brilliant. she was my "go-to adult". I will miss her with all my heart. All my love Louise - I know you know that she will be your angel. - Posted by: Joy and Ted Asham (Friends) on: Aug 15, 2017
