    Accidentally I found the news of Shirley's passing away in the inernet. In 1959 Shirley stayed with our family in Essen-Kupferdreh for three month. She learned German very quickly and we loved her all.Later we exchanged letters and news from our families and she visited us several times in Germany, also with her family when the boys were young. We are very very sorry. Ursel Häsler and family, Germany

    Shirley was like a sister to me. She loved to visit my medieval French town , walk the tiny streets, sit on a café terrace and of course, speak French. She loved her family and spoke to me often about each one. She always had a project and I truly expected to see her as always this fall, in time for our neighborhood "brocante" . I will miss you, dear Shirley. Marcie
