Ray I’m heartbroken to hear of Sherry’s passing. I’ve known both of you for a long time, Sherry since high school days, mid 70’s and of course you from our PennDOT days together. Sherry was so sweet, and kind. Not many like her.
I wanted to pay my respects but I can’t walk without assistance, fall a lot and my vision is terrible.
I never forgot you guys and your dad. You guys will forever be in my prayers.💔
