I just read about Shirley Pico Death and I miss hearing about it. I am so sorry. I worked with Shirley in the Mesa Temple for several years, we had our lockers next to each other and became great friends. I am so sorry because I loved her and enjoyed her friendship so much. If her son Brad or daughter Lisa could call me #408- 980- 5240, I would appreciate it so much, I live in Mesa close by. My sympathy to the family, she was a lovely person and a wonderful friend. My love to all her family. Donna Millett
