Shirley was one of a kind: a wise, thoughtful, witty and elegant woman. She lived a full and interesting life and I was happy to be her friend. My deepest sympathy to her daughter and my friend Gael who introduced me to her many years ago and who cared for her so lovingly until the end. We had some great times together. I will miss her. Condolences to all her family...
