I just received this information this afternoon. We send our thoughts and prayers to Shirley and her family.
Dear Friends, Shirley Horn…
…is not doing well. received from one of Shirley’s best friends, singer Gail Marten:
“I don’t know if you know that Shirley Horn is quite ill. She has been moved from hospital critical care to Spellman Nursing Home in DC. She is conscious, but as yet unable to speak. She is on dialysis, breathing assistance and feeding tube. We are hoping for the best.”
Shirley most definitely would appreciate flowers, cards, prayers, etc. Here is her contact information and where cards and flowers can be sent:
