I would be one of the hundreds of students Mrs. Shirk drove to school on the bus. She had a reputation of no nonsense, "feet out of the aisle and sit facing front". Everyone knew who she was. But we were safe and we thank her for that. Outside of the bus, she was so much fun and normally joking and laughing. We lost a sweet lady. I pray her and Willis are laughing it up up there.

We wish to express our sympathy to the family, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Polly at Town Hall. People used to think we were related! It was fun. She was great. Her daughter, Susie, worked there also, and she would say, that's my daughter!!! You had a wonderful Mom. Enjoy your memories and hold them near and dear. God Bless.
