Sherrie you were an amazing musician and helped show me how to teach young voices through many choir camps at Northwoods. I´ve since heard that you were an amazing director of music and organist at Kinsmen Lutheran. Your jovial and joyful spirit will be missed.

Rip Sherrie! I didn't know you but may have known your husband, Jim! If Jim worked at BWT, he'd be the Jim I knew, and I'd like to reconnect with him if at all possible!
