Dear Bobby, Ronnie, Suzi, and Jeff: Everybody loved Mrs. Sherman (I still call her that!). Your home was warm and welcoming and filled with love and fun, thanks to her. I miss those simpler times when we all played or skated in the park, carpooled to the Temple, sang in the LHS choir, and went to Rabbi's house for ice cream. Please take comfort in the many, many wonderful memories of your Mom you must have. With love, Susie Frankle

I REMEMBER WITH GREAT FONDNESS HOW MRS. SHERMAN ALWAYS TREATED HER CHILDREN'S FRIENDS HER OWN, NO MATTER HOW MANY WERE IN THE HOUSE AT ONE TIME! I ALWAYS FELT LIKE SHE WAS MY AUNT, AND ALL THE LORAIN JEWISH KIDS WERE MY FAMILY.
MRS. SHERMAN WAS A ROLE MODEL FOR ME, SHOWING ME HOW TO HOST MY CHILDREN'S FRIENDS AND WELCOME THEM INTO MY HOME, THE MORE THE MERRIER. BOY, COULD THE SHERMAN'S PACK THAT HOUSE WITH KIDS!
