Sherry & family, my prayers & thoughts are with you, I remember when we was neighbors in Clarksdale & the good times we had.
So very sorry to read of Dennis’ passing, but grateful that his suffering is over. I pray that your memories of him will give you comfort, and the love you share with him will bring you peace in the coming days.
Sherry & Family, I am so sorry to hear of Carl’s passing. May the Good Lord keep you in his care and bless you in your time of grief.
We were sorry to see in the paper that Carl had passed away. We were South Nodaway friends, Sam in his class and Joan a year behind. We agree with the words in the obituary – “a little ornery and always with a smile.” We send condolences along with our wish you find comfort in faith, family, and friends.
Sherry: we read of your husband’s passing in the St. Joseph paper. We are so very sorry that you are going through all this pain and sorrow. We want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are by your side for the coming days. If we can do something for you that would help, please let us know. We also are married 51 years, have two grown sons and two grandkids and live in Jefferson City, MO. We have wondered many times, as we went through Union Star on the way to Stanberry, where you were and what you were doing. You have our love, Bearcat buddy for always
