I am sorry to hear of the death of Shirley. It has been many years since I lived across the street on Lincoln Avenue. You are in my prayers.
I was sad to hear of Shirley’s passing. I’ve not lived in Warren since 1981, but have the fondest memories of Shirley and Stanley who were friends of my parents, Nels & Marge Larson.
My sincere condolences to all for you loss.
