I was very saddened to learn of Shirley’s passing. My condolences to the family. Shirl was a great friend to my father Harry B. Miller. I can still hear her calling his name “Haar.” She became a dear friend of the whole Miller family over the years and joined us at dozens and dozens of gatherings from anniversaries and birthdays to all the major holidays at my sister Suzy’s and my house and in the homes of all of our children over 13 years. She always brought a loud laugh, lots of grace, terrific stories and a loaf of grapenut bread. We will all miss her dearly and hold the sweetest memories in our minds and hearts. Sad but warm regards, Steve Miller.
