Susanne DeGennaro wrote a sympathy message

“Aunt Shirley has a front row seat in Heaven, our guardian angel with us forever, and we couldn't ask for a kinder, more gracious, caring, talented, pure hearted angel in our corner. We are better just for having known her. Her calming presence, her welcoming manner, her ease and gentleness, her sense of humor, her letters, notes, birthday cards over the years in her unmistakable hand never failed to make me feel loved, supported, understood, treasured. You are in our hearts always. -Susie”
