My condolences to Joan's family. I worked with Joan at Reingold Elementary School for a few years & enjoyed her friendship. She taught my son, Adam, in 5th grade. She was so kind & nice to a very shy 5th grader. My sincerest sympathies.....Janice Desjean

My deepest condolences. Mrs. McSherry was my 5th Grade teacher at Reingold Elementary School and by far one of my favorites. Many of my fondest memories in school was being in her class. I even still have my piece of coral she gave each student back from her Florida trip. She was an amazing teacher and an amazing person who will be truly missed.
