To Sherry and your family, we are so sorry for your loss and you all are in our thoughts an prayers. It was so good to see you both just a few weeks ago at the GTE reunion and that I was able to catch up with Frank about our families and joke around about the old days and funny stories about our cousins and when I worked on Dispatch and he worked outside. I had just told my mom Muggie (his cousin) that I saw him and hugged him for her and she was excited to get in touch with you all. Our thoughts are with you all.
