I grew up with Sherrill who lived 2 houses away in Hampstead. We walked to school together, went trick or treating and attended Friday night movies at Hampstead School in the 1950's. I remember she had beautiful naturally curly long brown hair almost to her waist. We lost touch when I moved to California with a girlfriend and I met my husband. Nick and I were married 55 years. Sherrill came to my wedding shower and I visited her in her apartment shortly after she and Ross were married. I remember they had a beautiful white sectional sofa and a gorgeous large oil painting above it of an Italian scene. She was a lovely person.
With Deepest Sympathy,

To the entire Tousaw family...our thoughts are with you.
Psalm 90 is the only Psalm ascribed to Moses. Its last line is a prayer by Moses, "To establish the work of our hands for us, yes, establish the work of our hands." A parent's work is their family, and so for Mrs. Tousaw, that prayer is answered. May it ever be so.

"Mom" Tousaw was a wonderful person who I had the pleasure to know growing up as a kid that lived next door to her. I will treasure the memories I have of her and will keep her family in my heart and prayers.
