Sorry for your loss.
Although I had not been in touch with Shirley, I am deeply saddened by her passing. Shirley and I worked together at the law office of Murphy, Durdin and Cole and I was fortunate to attend at her wedding to Art. We kept in touch occasionally over the years, with her commenting on my Letter to the Editor comments in the LFP. She tracked me down, and we renewed our friendship. Rest in paradise, Shirley 🙂
Art, sincere condolences on the passing of your wife. May she rest in peace
