Many years ago, as a high school junior or senior, can't remember at this point, I came to the Macaulay residence to pick up Shirley's daughter Diane, for a date night to our youth group meeting. While waiting for Diane, I was having a conversation with Shirley and I absent mindedly ran my finger across one of the lamps I was sitting next to, making a finger mark in the dust on the lamp. Shirley caught me!! And after all those years, 50+, joking all the while, whenever I would visit her, she never let me forget that incident. Several times many years later while visiting her in Riverside, my greeting at the front door was, Shirley, I am her to check your lamps! She was my friend, a fellow believer in our Lord Jesus, and I will miss her greatly. Her annual Christmas letters/poems with only the humor Shirley could come up, her zest for life and adventure and always wanting to make a positive impact on those around are some of the things that I will hold dear as I remember her life. I am blessed to have been her friend all these years.
