Dear Beth and Glen, So sorry for the loss of your daughter. The pain must be great but you know God must have needed her for something special to call her so young. May God Bless you both with peace and love. Steve and Devon Kosloski

To Sheri's Family. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I always felt close to her, even though I had only played ball against her a few years ago. I remember coming to her house in high school. We shared a very close name of each other and always joked when people asked me if I was married to Bill. My maiden name is Sheri Secord. I would always say, no, that is Sheri Alward, married to Bill Secor, no D at the end! I also graduated from Eastern and played softball with her there. So sorry again about your loss.
