Welford Ashton Sherman Jr.

Dear Mrs. Sherman and Family.
I learned only yesterday of your loss. I always admired your family and have thought of you often. I lost my Dad this year also. We lost Mom eight years ago. God bless you all, Phil

Rebecca, I am so very sorry to learn of your recent loss. My heartfelt sympathy to you and to your entire family. These are very tough times to get through, but I know you have wonderful memories to sustain you.

I am sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences. What a full life with many contributions to the fabric of Orange and the greater world.

Mrs. Sherman and Rebeccca: So sorry for your loss of Mr. Sherman.I of course knew him somewhat while I was in high school with Rebecca. I never knew he was such a founding father for much of Orange.It sure proves he conducted himself in the manner that we all should.And I quote

Dear Irwin and family, I was so sorry to hear of Welford's passing. I was so touched when the two of you attended Tom's funeral and am sorry I am unable to attend Welford's tomorrow. I did not know that you had moved to Richmond and don't have your address there, but I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Affectionately, Lorene Sherman
