Sherry Williams

Sherry Williams and I became friends in the fifth grade and remained friends, even after high school. As the years passed, we saw less and less of each other but always felt like we were friends till the end. As you may recall, Sherry was very talented artistically and became an art teacher after she graduated from the University of Cincinnati. She married Rick Bachelor and moved to St. Mary's Ohio, and had a daughter, Erin. She developed stomach cancer when she was quite young and her daughter was only three. Once again, I stayed in touch with Rick and Erin for several years but have lost touch now. Sherry was my best friend in both grade school at Jefferson Elementary and then at Colonel White. We had so many great times together and I miss her still today.

I received a note from Michelle Andrasik Ratliff . She had visited our site and was shocked by how many people have passed from our class. She asked if we knew when and how.

I am at a loss to say when all of them died. We hear bits and pieces of information from people in our class and others. There is a saying that the good die young. I remember seeing Vicki Brown's obituary in the paper and she must have had a very hard fight for her life. What illness, I am not sure. I remember her as being such a beautiful person in looks and personality. It is so sad that she is gone.

Bob Brier grew up with Larry Sokol , myself and others. At our last reunion Bob and I had a very extensive talk. I was just recovering from Cancer and he wanted me to relocate to California so he could be my doctor. Bob wanted to help me get well. He was so concerned with other people. And he too is gone. The good die young.

Perhaps, if any of you out there have information about one of our deceased classmates, would you be kind enough to let us know so that we can post the information. If you have a memory, that would also be very nice. One of our goals with this site is to have every one of our deceased classmates honored in one way or another. This will keep their memories alive in our hearts and minds. We would appreciate your comments. Without you we will never know.
