I am so so sorry. Sheryl was one of my closest childhood and teenage friends.
She loved her grandkids so much! I will never forget when I showed up to the Johnson’s and there was a MEGA unicorn inflatable sprinkler she bought the kids just for fun! I am sure there are plenty many more moments of fun with Sheryl! I know she brought fun to my life that day!
Such sad news, the Livengood family were good friends. Condolences to Dan and the family. Ray & Linda Hendrickson, Hamburg, IA
Words cannot express my sorrow for your loss.
I’m thinking and praying of your family during this difficult time.
