Though Shirley may no longer walk beside us, her memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Shirley touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In her absence, her spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
After Jim died in our 57th year of marriage, I published a memoir and began sending "Another Hilarious Shirley Email" to about 35 friends and family. (Now my emails go to 57 emailers and by snail mail to some non-emailers.) In 2019, I published But I Digress, a book containing emails, columns and essays; But I Digress: The Pandemic Chronicles, was published in October, 2021.
