As I cherish the memories of De and me over the past 32 years, I keep thinking about her most cherished gifts, Tiffany and Hayley. I held you both when you were babies and remember how happy your Mom was then. Knowing I could not bare children, she always shared her love for you and let me in to her family to be a part of your lives in so many special ways. Of course, we shared and experienced so many things over the years, and I can honestly say that De will always be the only "true friend" I'll ever have. Lloyd and I will always be here for you both.

Hayley and Tiffany...We sure will miss your Mom. De was like a soul sister to me and I cherished each moment spent with her. It was a blessing to have known her.

My Dear Friend, You will be missed so much. I have always thought of you as not only my best friend, but also a second mother. We have laughed and cried together over the years, whether it was a great milestone in our lives to something silly we shared it all. I will have a glass of red wine in your honor. My thoughts and prayers are with 'your girls' (Hayley knows what I mean) and their families.

Dearest Pat, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your beautiful sister, DeLane. I thank you for being there for me during the loss of my beloved husband, Tony. I found great comfort in your kindness during that time. I am here for you if there is anything at all I can do. You and your family now have a beautiful Angel watching over you. I pray that each of you, in her absence, will find comfort in knowing of the promise of being reunited. This life is fleeting and Heaven is our true home. May Father God Bless each of you always in all ways, With deep sympathy and love, Jennifer Sherman
