Jean,

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated and loved Sherm. I don't think I would have gotten to know him very well if it weren't from him teaching my temple class before my sister and I got married. He taught me so much and was always so great to listen to because of his huge love for the Savior. He was always excited to see us and to get teaching.

I wish you and your family the best and hope that all is well.

Love,

Amy
