My sincere condolences on the loss of your dear Shirley. I worked with Shirley in the Diagnostic Imaging Department of North York General Hospital many years ago. I was assistant to Dr. Raziel Gershater, who was Chief of Radiology at the time. Shirley was a pleasure to know. We had many good conversations and as far as skilled professionalism was concerned, she was the best. The doctors were very pleased to have Shirley at their side during procedures. She made them look brilliant. I will never forget her. May her memory be a blessing for you all.

I enjoyed working with Shirley. She was always kind, compassionate and caring. I will remember Shirley's stories of her world travels with her sister Ruth. What a great friend, who always thought of others before herself. My deepest condolences to Ruth, Douglas and your extended family.
