Sorry for the typing mistakes. I was doing that thru many tears. But am sure you would understand cause as anyone who knew you.. typing was definitely not your forte.
Even though we didn't get together often your brother in law Jim misses you already too. He always enjoyed the times we did get together
You were a wonderful sister even tho were 10 yrs apart. I always enjoyed our phone calls together which were never often enough but could nearly last three hours. Just reminiscing and laughing about this or that. I remember the awful day we were notified about our brothers sudden death and now o had that same news delivered to me on a Friday jusy like with Barry. Now it's just me left of our family. Now it's your turn to fly with the Angel's. Arm sure you were welcomed by mom, dad and Barry with open arms. Until we meet again... know you are loved and missed. Your living sister, Jan
Thanksgiving will never be the same. We so looked forward to sharing that with you and Frank each year. May you fly high dear friend. You will be missed tremendously. ❤️
I am still in shock...this news has left me numb and dumb. Sherry & I went to boarding school together in Virginia. Our first year was 1957-58. Five of us roomed together in a huge two dormer room. As you might know there was always some drama going on. One was that Sherry plucked me out of the group to roll her hair every night. In those days we used huge pin curls to make our longer hair into what was called a pageboy. Well Sherry loved that I knew how to 'do' it and somehow with much persuasion from her to me I said I would show her how . If you know Sherry well, the 'showing her how' did not work very well and I found myself with a daily hair rolling job for Sherry for four years.
I only lived with her that first year and we all moved to a bigger dorm with more hiding places but she was a 'teen detective' and a pretty good one at that.
I hid. I tried to beg off, pretended to be asleep...nothing worked. I succumbed to her begging, tears and promises. She was like a dog on a bone. I would stay in someone else's room until I thought she had given up....but no...she just never did and when I arrived back to the room there she was sitting on my bed waiting for me clutching her bobby pins
She would tell me a delightful tale and we would laugh and laugh and her laugh was so contagious. We became fast & best of friends then and continued getting together fairly often with two others from the same school. The four of us called ourselves The Sin Sisters. We all were so different but so compatible and loved each other deeply.
So now we are only three. Miss you so much you Sassy Sherry you!
