Sending love and hugs to Shirley's family. I think she's at peace now that she's reunited with her husband and her boys. She was a wonderful mother-in-law to me when Greg and I were married. I'll always remember her as a great cook and to this day, I always put mushrooms in my spaghetti just like she made hers. May she Rest in peace now.
