Shirley was my 2nd mother on Blackthorn Road growing up with Jennifer, and never questioned when I would walk in the house unannounced. I will forever treasure that. Hugs to you all. Alison

Barry and I were very saddened when Rob (Schoder) called us this evening to tell of your Mother's passing. She was a special friend. She and Barry along with Dave Donovan were great youth supporters at Winnetka Pres. many years ago. Even though some of you boys were busy supporting hockey, we do remember you in our class, Rick. We will be thinking of all five of you Sunday and are sorry we can't be there to celebrate the life of a wonderful woman.

Jim, Pete, Jennifer, Dan and Rick,

I shared your mother with you for 25 years and will remember her fondly. The world is better for her life and my children's lives are richer for the relationship they had with Nana and Grandpa Mac. Its the relationship I aspire to have with my grandchildren.

I share your loss and and will be thinking about you as you celebrate her life this weekend.

Don
