Just wanted to share my memories of your mother as a fellow educator. Sheryl was one of the first people to welcome a hestiant new teacher "me" to the Nautilus Elementary staff in the early 70's. She was so caring and loving to all of her students and fellow teachers. All who have passed before her will welcome her new arrival I am certain of that.
