Jeff, Sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I still remember the days of working with her and your Dad on the planning of the Greece Food Shelf and Clothing Closet.
Although Shirley lived a long and beautiful life of giving to others, her loss is tremendously sad to those of us who knew her. I was fortunate to be Shirley’s neighbor, friend, and fellow Grand View Beach Association board member for many years, and we had some memorable conversations together. I regret not visiting her more once she moved to Unity, but miss her just the same. She meant so much to so many.
Jeff, sorry for your loss. Moms are special people that we rely on our entire life. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
