Send Condolence

To: Harry, Laurie, Nancy, and families. I am shocked and saddened to learn about the loss of your beloved Shirley. It seems that I have known her forever. From our younger days when Harry and I were in Hebrew School together in Wheeling, all of the years that Shirley and Al came to Wheeling for synagogue events, and then for the last 30 plus years in Pittsburgh where I work as a Jewish professional. I know she will be deeply missed by her children and family and by the many, many people whose lives she touched with that beautiful and welcoming smile. I can see it in my mind as I think of it. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Stuart Pavilack
