My found memories of Shirley is that she was always smiling and laughing. Shirley was definitely a kind hearted soul who took care of those of us who hung around Orioles CC and attended the dances! As a child, playing with Sharon at their house on Banning St. She always made you feel like family when ever you went over. R.I.P. Shirley - My condolences to the families. - Posted by: Patti Clement (Sitar) (friend) on: Apr 25, 2015
