Jean & Family--I've missed Sherman's riding with me since he went into the Brian Center even though I saw him quite often there it wasn't the same. I will now miss him even more as I'm sure you will also. He was a joy to be around with a great sense of humor and stubbornness that few could match. Deepest Sympathy.

ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS HAS GONE. I GREW UP WITH SHERMAN AND WENT TO SCHOOL TOGETHER, ALSO GRADUATED WITH SHERMAN. HE ALWAYS MADE YOU LAUGH AND SOMETIMES CRY. WHEN WE HAD CLASS RENUIONS HE ALWAYS HAD GOOD TIME AND HE LOVED TO DANCE. I SURE HATE TO SEE YOU GO, BUT I KNOW YOU ARE A ANGEL NOW. YOU HAVE SUFFERED LONG ENOUGH. YOU WERE A GOOD,GENTLE, AND WILL BE TRULEY MISSED.
