Hello to Sheryl's family. I did not find out about her death until Dec. 8, 2023. She and I both lived in Sheppard Hall at Northwestern and she was one of my first friends there.

Certain things change as we grow older, but I knew that smile the moment I saw it and it will always be with me. Obviously, her sense of humor remained throughout her life.

I consider myself fortunate to know her. My love and best to all of you. Please feel free to contact me if you wish.

Tony and your family will miss you greatly...and so will I. We will meet together in the next world, and maybe do a "gig" or two. You are the bravest woman I have ever known.
