My condolences and prayers are with all of the family. I believe I met Sherrill and family in 1957 when I was in NC with Sherrill's Aunt Dessie (my grandmother). Dorene, I have found that God is true to his Word and is "a husband to the widow". May your faith in Him be your and the familiy's Strength.

Dear Dorene and Family:
So sorry to hear about Sherril.
He was a sweet and carring man and he will surely be missed. It seem like so many people are leaving us and going home to Jesus. But they are in a much bett home now.
If there anything Larry and I can do please let us know.
Love you All
