Shirley and I have been longtime friends -- since 1948 when I moved to Almond and joined her in third grade at Alfred-Almond Central School. We graduated with the Class of 1958, and then went to Alfred State together. Although I have not seen Shirl in several years, we have talked on the phone and kept up on our families and shared our common faith in Jesus Christ. May God comfort you all as you mourn the loss of your mom and grandma. She was a good friend to me. Sincerely, Donna Burdett Ryan, Almond, NY
