I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. My condolences to all the family at this time. The most important think I have to say about Shirley, (in my life), is the fact that Shirley told me who to call when I was new to Englehart and my television quit. She told me to call Jack Scott.....I did......he fixed the TV......asked me out and the rest is history! Thank you Shirley! I will always remember you as a wonderful and helpful lady.
