Donation in memory of Mary Sherlach

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother.

In memory of Mary Sherlach and in recognition of all the work she did for the children at Sandy Hook.

Katy - I am very sorry for your loss. Surely your Mom is with her Maker now, and in peace in the Heavens above. My husband and I met when we were at Georgetown and married a year after graduation in 1974. Unfortunately, he died of leukemia when our children were 25, 23,20 and 13. What helped to get us through the loss was trying to look at the glass as half full, rather than half empty. I explained that we were so lucky to have Peter in our lives for as long as we did...some children don't have caring parents or never know their parents at all. We had him in our lives long enough to know what his values were and to see the fine examples he set by his kindness and generosity to others. So, I say this to you because I am sure your Mom was the best and you will miss her always. But be thankful for the time you had with her and live your life honoring her memory. Again, my sincere sympathy and my thoughts and prayers will be with you and yours. Susan

Our hearts are with you. Our deepest condolences for your loss.

My condolences.

Thoughts and prayers are with the Sherlach family always. We should all remember the heroic actions of Mary and others, all the victims of this horrific tragedy, and those they leave behind.

In memory of your mother.

We wanted to help and to reach out to someone in our local community who was touched by this tragedy. The amount of our donation, $18, is symbolic in Jewish tradition as it represents the word "chai" meaning life. We give this to honor your mother's life. We are deeply saddened by the loss of such a remarkable woman.

I hope that it helps to know that there are many people who care.

Prayers and condolences to you and your family, Katy.

My deepest sympathies for your loss.

Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Katy, my deepest condolences to you and all your family on the loss of your mother. Hers was a true act of heroism, and after learning that she was your mother I understood one of the reasons why you are such a wonderful person. Please, do not hesitate to contact me or anybody else at the Department if you think that we can help you or your family in any way.

I am so devastated for all that you and the other victims' families are going through. I know it is difficult but try to be strong and live the rest of your life as your mom would want you to. I am so sorry for your loss.

Katy- We cannot begin to understand what you're going through. But we are so sorry and you are in our prayers wveryday. Your mother was so brave. We hope you get through this with both courage and strength. If you ever need anything please dont hesitate to reach out. Sarah Pelley and Jennifer Schrader.
