Our condolences to all Shirley's family. Over the years while working down at Rexall, I had the pleasure of taking Shirley's weekly purchases over to her home. We always talked for a wee bit about this, that and everything. Ha, I kind of considered myself her personal shopper ! When Shirley needed a special card for that special someone in her family, she always counted on me to pick out just the right one and take it over. Will always remember that !! Sandi. Begon.
