What are the chances that I was just reminiscing of the big spaghetti dinners my family was invited to back in the day? My father, Denny, was very close to Jorgie...they were Teamsters and as thick as thieves (smile) and my mother, Linda, was very close to Shirley. My deepest condolences to Shirley's family, and I will keep each of you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time! I hope Shirley, Jorgie, my mom, Linda, and dad, Denny, are dancing, playing cards, drinking and having a wonderful reunion...and perfect that spaghetti and garlic bread for when I eventually see them! I love and miss you all!
