My prayers go out to Sherman's family. Sherman and I went to high school together and knew his parents. His father repaired our TV. When I stole a pack of cigarettes from his mother, she would not let me pay her after she caught me. She told me it was a lifetime lesson. It was. I am sure we were distant cousins as my grandmother was a Sonnier from Chataignier, not far from Basile where Sherman was born. God Bless. May Lord lift you all up at this time of loss.

Our deepest sympathy in the loss of my old friend Sherman. We attended school together when he lived in Elton. We also shinned shoes every Saturday in Elton. He was well known for his Woody Woodpecker call! He was full of laughter and mischief.
Sorry for your loss Brandon.You and your family are in my thoughts…
