I enjoyed working with Shirley for many wonderful years at Steiner. She was always fun to talk to because we used to reflect on our days living in Greylock. She had a great sense of humor and had such a pleasant demeaner about her. My heartfelt condolences to the family. She'll be sadly missed by us all.
