Back in March, we looked at the story of Shirley Urbauer, a grandmother from the Chicago suburb of Alsip. Shirley had lost her job because of the pandemic like so many Americans, but learned that help was on the way from Uncle Sam in the form of enhanced unemployment benefits and other government subsidy programs. Now she’s back in the news because she’s been summoned up for jury duty while also receiving a continuation of her unemployment payments. Of course, this brings up the same issue that her family has been dealing with all along. You see, Shirley died in 2015. But the state of Illinois, despite saying that they were going to resolve the matter, can’t seem to let Ms. Urbauer rest in peace. (CBS Chicago)

With COVID-19 numbers down and juries back in session at the Daley Center in Chicago, Shirley from Alsip was sent a summons to appear in the next few weeks.

It’s the eighteenth time the state or county have mailed her. Her family says it’s enough.

“You never stop missing someone. You never stop wanting to talk to them one more time, see them one more time, anything,” said Shirley’s son Joe Urbauer. “Why my mother? Why my family? For the state to just keep sending something. It just, all the emotions come back.”
