    My love and prayer go out to you, Roger. I remember meeting Sherril once with you—-in AZ with Ruth and Dick, I believe. Know of my continued remembrance, and that I send the best to you as you learn to live in her presence here. Blessings to your family, too. Carol Kane (Richard Kane’s youngest sister)

    Roger, please accept my condolences on the death of your wife, Sherril. Sadly, Lydia and I visited Phoenix infrequently and only had a single occasion to meet her. If wishes come true Mary Jane, Ruth and Lydia will be able to express their personal greetings to her.
    Paul
