We were so saddened to hear of Sherrill's passing. I was one of here classmates from North Cache High. She was from Benson and I was from Hyde Park. She was a very special lady and I always looked forward to our Class Reunions where she would play the piano and I would lead us in our class song. She will be missed very much. Both Dennis and Sherrill were very good friends. We will miss her very much. You were lucky to be her children, she was very special.
