Jim,
My heart sank when I read this news about Sherry. Such a difficult loss, I’m sure, for you and your son and family. Sherry was the sweetest and truly genuine person I’ve known. What wonderful memories of her as a coworker and friend when we visited when we were all in Germany.
God Bless her and prayers of peace for you, Jeff and your family.
