My deepest condolences to the Jago family for their loss. I will always remember Shirley as a wonderful friend to my mom, Jane. May she rest peacefully.
So many wonderful memories and one in particular which involves a lamp shade. ?
Shirley is a wonderful memory from long ago in our youth. She taught me how to dehydrate foods, gave me lots of asparagus roots for our garden and was such a caring friend for over sixty years as well as Howie. Rest in peace. Mary Ellen Kondysar and Tony (in spirit)
