I grew up in Glenview on Longmeadow Drive with the Dragula family and just learned last night that Sherry had passed away. I remember her as being a very, very sweet girl, from a lovely family, so am not surprised to read that by all accounts she grew up to become a lovely woman. My condolences to the Dragula family on the loss of Sherry and on the loss of Mary.
Mark, I will be thinking of Sherry strolling through Doolittle Prairie at dusk, smiling and laughing as the two of you walked together, chatting with people about plants, birds, and other wildlife around us.
Sending our condolences to Mark and family on your loss-- we were dismayed to learn of Sherry's passing. She was such a shining light. We will miss her.
Dear Dr. Widrlechner,
Our prays are with you; It is very sad that such a wonderful person like Sharon has passed away.
Mark,
I am saddened today to learn of the passing of your wife, Sharon. I trust you will find some manner of comfort in the love and memories the two of you shared.
What a sad day to learn that such a kind, gracious woman has passed on. My condolences to her family and friends.
Dear Mark and family,
I am so very sorry. Ellen and I have such fond memories of your wedding at Starved Rock State Park. You both looked so happy and the setting was perfect.
I remember Sherry as a gracious, luminous person, full of enthusiasm.
Her presence on this earth has made the world better. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Mark, I missed seeing you at the Ames STSC, and now I know why you couldn't be there. This is tough, but you'll come through it. You're a good, giving person, just like Sherry was, and you have more work to do yet.
My wife just had cancer surgery last week, and while her prognosis is good, I know a little bit about how you must feel.
Take care --
Guy S.
Dear Mark:

Mark and family: My deepest sympathies with this enormous loss. Respectfully, David
