After he passed away, she remarried two more times. Her third husband was from Lowell, Mass. Shirley has three children from first husband. The oldest lives in Florida.

She and I have a deal: she comes to my classes as long as I wheel her to the class and afterwards take her to where ever she wants, which I do gladly!
