Dwayne and family,
I was sorry to hear about Shirley. She was always so nice to me when I was Rod Rodriguez's Lady. I do hope all of you will know she will be loved and missed by the many lives she touched which I was able to be included in the short ten years I was Lady Pam in the Greeters.
Love and Sunshine to you all always,
Pamela Rodkey
