Farewell for Now My Friend. For every time I ever saw you, or when I think of you. I develop a warm grin. I will never forget how well you treated me here on earth. Like a father and like a friend. Nor will I ever forget all the countless trips with you on the golf course. Thanks for all the teaching there. And all the golf balls and clubs too. I still play with the same ole Slotline putter you gave me when I was around 20 years old. And always will. I will also always remind BigSherm and Steve that they only beat us once or twice out very many attempts when we played partners. We were tough together. Cherished times. They were always great fun. But I really never knew that they would be so, ……so very Cherished! Although you’re funeral was very sad for us yesterday. It was amazingly beautiful. You were beautiful, and so was your family. We will miss you. It won’t be the same without you. But I can always remember to treat others like you treated me. So Farewell for Now My Man. Until that day when I meet you in the Promise Land! Love Always…..Little Sherm.

The next time I get to stand beside you in the choir, it will be in the Heavenly choir, and we'll sound a whole better to each other than we ever have. I praise God for letting me get to know a precious friend, Flash.

Steve,
Sorry to hear your daddy past away. I lost mine 2 1/2 years ago. It will be hard but in time it will get better. Dads are a prominence in our lives that no one else can fill especially if a person is fortunate to have a good father as you and I have had.
May God give you grace and strength through this time.
Sincerely,
Cindy K
Class of '81
