I found that rather shocking when I had heard the news of their passing and it was so close. I thought to myself, what is going on here??? two people from one of my fave shows died a month apart. WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING?

Ironically, I knew a lady in Asheville who also grew up with Shirley, they had a little confrontation as kids, but they were friends.
