Reply #9: As sad as it would be to learn that Shirley passed away

[lukasahero]

(if we agree that Shirley was the older, maimed one), I have to say that hurts me a little less. When I read this, I thought to myself "Poor Shirley - without elephant contact for 20+ years and she finally is reunited with "family" only to lose it again." It was the idea of Shirley losing family again that hurt more than thinking of her dying. At least she was not alone when she died. :cry:
