Sheryol's and my friendship goes back to our kindergarten days in Allison. We were part of the 5 girls and 4 boys in the class.
I was so disappointed when Lucille got married and Sheryol moved. We didn't make contact again until she came to a class reunion which I missed. Searching the internet (once we knew her married name) we found her and reconnected in 2011 at the age of 70 and caught up on each other's lives.
We were born on the same day June 19, 1941, and we celebrated together on that day each year. I was shocked when her phone was disconnected and there was no answer to the reply of her text.
I am thankful to have known her and Gary and the memories we made.
With our sympathies,
Glenn and Gail Fenneman
