Shirley was a great lifelong friend to my grandmother, Martha (Gaul) Gillespie (and her children, Frank, Terry, my mom Cathy, and Shawn), my great uncle, Father Frank Gaul, and my great aunt, Helen Gaul. Shirley & my grandmother grew up next door to each other in Glace Bay, like sisters. I remember as a young boy going to Shirley's bungalow and spending wonderful time there with my brothers, parents, my grandmother, uncles and aunts and Shirley. Shirley was supportive, loving, and caring of the Gauls and always hosted my large family when we came up to Cape Breton to visit. I'm very sorry to hear of her passing but will always fondly remember her kind spirit, warm laugh, and days at the bungalow.
