Sherrie, I was very shocked to hear the news about Joel. I thought that if anyone could beat leukemia it would be him. I have many pleasant memories of going to high school with Joel, our various motorcycles and motorcycle trips and your marriage and children with Joel. Please accept my heart-felt condolences.
