February 22, 2025 at 5:59 pmIn memory of Shirley L. Burkart. Wishing you peace. Working for 14 years with you was a trip. You will never be forgotten for your “Shirley ism’s” and all our times at GLCC in the Personnel Department with the rest of the gals. We had some rough times, and very funny times in that company. Not to forget all the luncheons in NYC for years after. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies to your family for your loss. Dee
