Evelyn, Kim, Susan, and other loved ones and friends of Sherman my sympathy goes out to you. Sherman will greatly be missed. We enjoyed his involvement in Cedar Bluff with the Town Meetings and The Cedar Bluff Neighboorhood Watch, and the times when his health permitted for him just to stop by our office to visit.

I am so sorry for your loss. Somehow sharing that ICU waiting room with you last week made my life a little easier and hope that you know if you need anything, I will do whatever I can to make your burden lighter now. May God Bless you and may you find the peace and comfort that only he can bring. My prayers are with you.
