I am so sorry to see Shirley has passed away. I have good memories of her out there on the farm with your dad and at your Grandma Mabel's when I was in high school. She was strict but sweet. Thinking of your family at this most difficult time.

I remember Shirley fondly. Part of a special bunch of people who all grew up in Ray. (Kermit Pederson's daughter) We reconnected with them several years ago, and enjoyed visiting with both Shirley and Ivan.
