  1. My condolences to all of the family. Ms. Sherman was a woman who was part of the extended parential family of the neighborhood kids growing up in Redbank in the fifties and early sixties. She was a Lady who we all respected. After many years I had the good fortune to visit with her a couple of months ago. She was the same Mrs. Sherman that I remembered from my youth. Big smile, a warm welcome and an enjoyable afternoon catching up. She was obviousley proud of her entire family as she shared photos and stories. Mrs. Sherman meant a lot to many people, even those whose lives she touched many years ago. God Bless.
