Williston, ND Monday, May 6, 2024 Sending sincere condolences to Shirley's family. Although I didn't know her personally, I knew her husband Lester, who was the son of my mother's best friend Bertie Cowan. I knew all the kids. I was a child at the time, and the Cowans were very close friends; I loved to help tend the chickens with Claude on Archer Road in Baytown, and Bertie kept my horse for me until Daddy could build a barn. Lester's sister Betty took me to see the Beatles! If she should read the guestbook I would be pleased to hear from her.I would have loved to know Shirley. I send warm thoughts to any of the family who might remember Julie and Buck Robinson and their daughter Diane. Again, sincere condolences on your loss.
