First she was a kid living with her family. She married Frank. They lived, loved, had kids, kids grew up. Sherle and Frank lived, loved and enjoyed retirement. Frank died. What's a woman to do? To quote the 'new' Sherle, 'I don't need no darned man!' This blog begins on Saturday, August 27, 2005... two days before Frank's unexpected death.
