Dan, I am so sorry to hear about Sherry. We lost touch during the last years but often thought of her and remembered our trips.
She was a great traveling companion and had a great sense of humor. She was also fun to work with.
Praying that our Lord, who loves you dearly, will speak blessings and comfort to your heart in the coming days.
With deepest sympathy. Dorothy Steinke

I was so saddened to read of your wife\’s passing. I don\’t remember meeting Sherry, but know she was a large part of your happiness in life. You always had a very warm and \’well loved\’ look to you whenever our paths crossed. You have many loving messages describing what a very special woman she was, and they helped me to identify the source of your happiness and wholeness that radiated in your smiles. I am thankful you have wonderful memories to carry you at this tender time. You have always been close to my family\’s heart, and we will always think of you as family. May God bless you and hold you ever so close at this time and always.
