To the whole Fohl & Luke families, I was so sorry to hear recently that Sherry had passed away. I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand how hard it is to lose a sister, or any family for that matter. I'm also sorry that I didn't know sooner to attend her visitation or gravesite.

Sherry has been a good friend for several years. We reconnected and talked on the phone every month as if we was never apart. I will miss her and the laughter we had reminiscing or talking about what was going on with each other. Sherry will be in my heart always.
