My deepest sympathies to the family. I know that Shirley Kay will be missed by all of us even though I haven't seen her for many years. We did reconnect on Classmates. I have many memories of us in dance class at Toby Lagervols & at many, many family get-togethers, especially in our younger years. RIP Shirley....
