We met Bill and Gayle in Ireland on a coach tour along with other very nice people. My husband and I spent some very enjoyable time with the Shermans and will always remember what a pleasant person he was and a sweet person Gayle Is, as well. We're thinking of you, Gayle.

We were so sorry that Bill has passed during our trip. We only knew Bill and Gayle a few days as part of our tour group to Ireland, but enjoyed their company. We send our thoughts and prayers to Gayle and the family. May Bill's memory serve as a blessing for everyone who knew and loved him.
