Anna,Joe and family,
I was so sorry to recently hear of your loss. I only met Sheridan one time last year at the shop, but we stood and talked for almost a half an hour when I returned with my rental. When I told him I was your neighbor, he beamed with pride as he told me more about himself and how much he loved his "Anna". Please let us know if we can help in any way.

Sheridan was always helpful at the store. I don't think he ever charged full price. He will be missed.
