Memories of Shirley

I'm sure we all have good memories of Shirley. I wish I had a better picture of her. She was always so kind and caring. Last November, she knew I was upset at guild about something my teenage daughter had done and she made me a cup of tea. I guess Shirley always carried a tea bag and she seemed quite pleased when I gave her a tea bag back at our December meeting. The last thing Shirley said to me was when she was leaving at our December meeting... " I have never led a class but I have this little basket I have been weaving, I don't have a pattern for it but I guess I can make one up. I'll let you know".
