Bruce, Deidra, and Lydia,

I was so sad to hear about Shirlee's death. My heart reachs out to all of you. I have know Shirlee a long time. I have many of her holiday newsletters that I collected throughout the years. I have wonderful memories of Shirlee and remember multiple conversations we had about family, dolls, gardening, recipes, etc. She was a great person and I am grateful to have know her.

Sorry to hear of Shirlee's passing. Many happy childhood memoires included the Funk family. She taught me a lot about the culture of other countries and I was always excited to learn from her. From May day parades to learning about the world I always had fun and felt welcomed at the Funk household. Thinking of you all and a big hug from Minnesota!
