Sheri has been part of the Woman Within Community since October, 1993, when she did her first Woman Within Training at Delavan, Wisconsin. Sheri continually held the sacred energy of this organization in her heart through her unending service to Woman Within in reaching women around the world.

Sheri Zuccato died during the night of January 4th, 2007. Her mother says she didn't make a sound and she found her Thursday morning with a smile on her face.

Ruth and Richard Zuccato, and Pamela Grant, thank each of you for all of your prayers and warm wishes.

There will be no funeral services so, in lieu of flowers, we ask that you send contributions to "Odyssey Healthcare of Conroe" (the hospice folks who took such good care of her).

Their address is 100 I-45 North, Suite 300, Box 103, Conroe TX. 77301.

Thank you for starting this bolg and giving those touched by Sheri a place to gather to mourn, share and celebrate Sheri.

Ironically, I am at a loss of words to fully express what I am feeling and fully define the loss. And so with gratitude for a place to come and check in, I sit in somewhat private grief knowing that I am by no means alone in feeling a void in a piece of my heart. I imagine it will be somewhat different for each of us and what a huge number of us there are.

I am relieved and comforted knowing that Sheri is no longer suffering. The sadness is for me and all of us who will be missing her.

Much love and sadness,

Paige

For Sheri Zuccato --

The bottom drops out
The hollow below my stomach is just that
Hollow.
The sadness becomes hard-edged and hopeless
And all my connections dangle like loose ends.

I can’t pick them up.
I can’t…because…
Because how do I ask for support?
Everyone who might support me needs support herself.
The circle resonates with loss.

Where do I turn now, Sheri,
To find your power and light
Radiating so bright that the long shadows
Turn sharp-edged and malleable?
Yet, the light lingers, and will stay.

You taught me to create my own Champion.
I did, and she can slay tyrants.
And she needs a shoulder now,
A long hug and a reminder that
None of us is alone
And loss and presence are the yin and yang of
Our lives together.

I feel so uncertain, stating my loss.
I knew you so little,
Felt your teaching so deeply.
So easy to rebuke myself for grieving a projection,
So critical to honor this grief:
Authentic, deep.
Each of us feels it; you too, I expect.

Sheri, rest easy.
Your life was huge.
Your presence is still with us.
The strength you gave so generously
Is now our common possession.
I’m so sad. And, as you so fully showed,
From loss and sorrow are spun gold.

I will always remember your smile. I treasure the times we staffed together, laughed together and cried together. I always appreciated your positive outlook and support.
You are missed!

Where do I start?

For me, I can't help but compare myself to those who knew Sheri very well, worked with her closely, and interacted often. And I know my grief deserves it's place and is important.

In fact, my feelings speak to the impact Sheri has had, especially in the Woman Within community. She was on the staff of my training November 1997. The impact of that weekend and Sheri's role is with me over 9 years later. And in those 9 years, I mostly saw Sheri at Warrior homecomings and occasionally in email. That is Sheri's legacy. Her role in my work was, not so oddly, about death. I came away with lessons on how to keep the light and spirit and best of someone I lost alive in me and now I get to repeat that lesson with Sheri.

Over time I learned that the relationship remains. What changes is a transition from a relationship of physical presence to a relationship of memory. It takes time. And then, one day, you discover how your loved one is with you, you can converse with them, feel them, and they continue to bring you delight. That brings me comfort.

To the Community, this feels like a tremendous loss. And we get to celebrate a huge gift we were given in Sheri for the years we had her. I know there will be a whole in our leadership and teacher pool.

More importantly, we have lost that glorious warm smile and big heart and courageous power.

To Sheri's Family and Friends and Loves, may you find comfort in your grief by knowing the impact of Sheri's life and passing on sooooo many women and men, as told in the many stories you have/will hear. She lives on in many, many hearts and her life is encircled by the many lives in which she made a difference.

To you, Sheri... as I learn to consider that Spirit continues in a non-physical space, I trust that you don't need a blog, or a computer or the Internet to KNOW how I feel. I write these words for my experience of being witnessed as I talk to you.

Your role in my weekend lives on and in the way we connected in the community... how we hugged, how we shared our coaching work and our love for it. I am sad for the loss of those waiting to meet you and to be impacted by being with you. I am sad for those who were closest to you who will miss you most. I am sad that your work here seems to have ended early. And I am curious what you will do next!

In joy, sadness, and wonder, I celebrate you, admire you, and will hold you in my heart... all ways, always.

Sheri,
How to say good bye?
How to honor you for all that you have done for so many women and men in the world?
How to fill the void?
How to grieve?
How to be?

The world has lost a beautiful soul who did so much for so many.

Your teachings are with me along with your smile and your beautiful eyes, forever engraved in my heart and soul. Thank you.

I am sad, very sad; And I know that you are now IN THE LIGHT continuing your work as a leader, as a teacher, as a mentor, as a woman.

Until I join my sisters in an honoring and grieving circle, I am grateful for the opportunity this blog offers. Thank you Teresita.

You will be so missed by so many. I will miss you.

With love and sorrow, in grief and in community, I am filled with light.

Paige - I, too, am at a loss for words. I had sent a letter to Sheri, but it did not get to her in time before she passed, and I am so sad about that. I wanted her to know that although I did not know her intimately, she affected me and changed me in positive ways. Sometimes it seems like the only ones who get to witness the impact of a life well lived are the ones who are left behind - my hope is that Sheri knew that she was phenomenal, influential, irreplaceable and will be missed greatly. I will miss the chance to know her better, to benefit from the wealth of wisdom, experience and depth of compassion that I hear others talking about, and some of which I experienced at the e-circle training.

I want to share a portion of the letter I wrote to Sheri becuase it publicly acknowledges her in a way I wasn't privately able to do in time:

... Sheri, ...I do not know you well – I attended your e-circle training a little over a year ago in Alexandria, VA, and although I did interact with you many times, it was not substantial in time, nor was it one on one. However, what I did see and feel was your passion for helping women heal. I saw your willingness to risk being vulnerable and transparent in order to encourage us to do likewise. I saw clarity in your mission to connect with women personally as well as helping women connect with each other in ways that create space for authenticity and healing of wounds. You are a woman of integrity and strength, of compassion and empathy and the two days I spent around you made me a better woman. I learned how to speak my truth in love, how to respond to conflict and maintain connection, and how to recognize the gold in myself that I see in others. For that, I thank you."

Sheri, the community as a whole has lost a gem of a woman. May we honor your memory by living out the gifts you so freely gave, and to pass on the legacy of healing, one woman at a time...

With blessings and prayers for healing,

Jennifer Allcroft

Her Light touched my Earth life only briefly when Lynn Anderson, Barbara Wust, and I picked her up at BWI airport for a weekend at Appel Farm. I was immediately swept up into her playful energy and depth of spirit.

We took her to Ikea. She had never been before and shopped like a gleeful child. We had lunch together and laughed. Her love radiated to all, and now her work is done, and she is gone from this dimension, but not from my heart or my memories of the work we do and the contributions she made to a larger community.

Thank you for providing a way for me to share in the grieving process. I am blessed to have known her, if only briefly.

Christie Miller said...

My heart is so full with the gifts that Sheri has left with me and I am so sad that I will not have the opportunity to walk with her again. From the moment I met Sheri on my own Woman Within Weekend, she became someone special in my life. Sheri was the Crone on that Weekend. Would it surprise anyone that she jumped in and facilitated my process? She was good at containing but she never could contain her passion for facilitating!

On every Weekend that I have staffed, it has always been Sheri’s voice that I hear when we sit in circle on Friday night and the reading starts – “From the darkness I hear my inner voice emerging…” When she read that passage, it resonated from her soul. Today I know that sitting in circle with other women and hearing their truth was her life’s work. It was the essence of her soul.

Sheri made such a difference in my life. She was such a wise Crone and Mentor. I would not be the Administrator of the East Coast Sage Circle had it not been for Sheri’s influence and guidance in my life. My hope is that a piece of her light can shine through me as I continue my work.

Sheri was ancient. I am ancient as I grieve for her. I feel that we have created a virtual circle all over the world that is grieving in the most ancient of ways. It gives me comfort. I hope it gives you comfort also.

Sheri,

We spoke on the phone and via email, but I never met you in person. However, you were the one that brought me to Woman Within. Without your words of encourgement or your wonderful drive and energy, I would never had made this great leap. In a year and a half my life has changed dramatically because of Woman Within. I owe a lot of that to your support.

I am truly saddened that our community and the world has lost such a beautiful person. I am sure you are still sharing lots of love and light.

You will be missed.

Love and Blessings,
Laura

Dear Sheri,

I thanked you once in a staffing feedback form for mirroring my ideal mother to me. How can any other words explain the impact of your life on mine, but these?

You Mothered me.

I came to you as a 24-year old living from the perspective of a little girl. You saw the woman in me, the wisdom and strength. You helped me heal confused and broken places in my heart--and then showed me the gifts available from the brokenness itself.

You breathed with me through fresh, adult grief and taught me to accept myself by accepting me. You laughed uproariously at my humor (I am worth delighting in?) and you grieved with me over my losses (My pain is real and important?).

You cheered me on when I sent you a draft that would become my biggest risk so far in the community...telling my story as a member of a spiritual minority. You were one of only a few people who understood what a victory that was for me. You whooped a Texas whoop (your words) and told me I was demonstrating the courage to grow up and be who I am. And the article is now published, almost a year later, in the same newsletter honoring your life.

During our last coaching session before you were too sick to work, you were teaching me about transitioning from Maiden to Mother. We won't have any more coaching sessions, and I am tempted to despair over the enormous loss. And then I hear your wisdom (which is truly mine) bubble up and say "Sheri has already taught me what I need to know...because she Mothered me. If I remember the Mother in Sheri, I will learn lessons never taught and hear wisdom never spoken. I can listen to her life."

All the pages of my journal recording our conversations are dog-eared and crumpled because I often refer to them as reminders of who I am and how far I've come. The last entry includes the Bible verses on peace that you encouraged me to find and meditate on.

"You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills will burst into song before you and all the trees of the field will clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12

In my fantasy, mountains and trees are rejoicing over you, Sheri, and you are laughing uproariously.

Be well. Go out in joy and be led forth in peace. I love you.

Sheri, you touched my heart and although I didn't really "know" you, the connection through WW reaches out across the world, connecting us all through the love that we share.
May you fly with joy and eternal youth and share the wisdom of the universe.

Sheri was my weekend leader at Appel Farm, NJ in January of 2002 and I remember her strong yet soft presence and the feeling of safety she created for me that weekend. I had the privilege of staffing with her several times and again, her leadership, strong presence and warmth created a wonderful feeling of safety and a quiet energy that sustained me throughout the weekend. Sheri, I will miss you greatly and pray that you are being held now in a safe, warm space in heaven like the one you created for me here on earth. Thank you.

Sheri, your work was the meat that our souls live on. We can continue day to day in meaningless occupations, but we will crash one day if we do not take time to heal our wounds within. You took it upon yourself to teach others what you had learned, and you healed many wounds. Your actions are visible and remembered, and the ripple effect from your living years here on this planet will continue your work even though you are gone. With love and great respect, Lara Coutinho

Dear Sheri,

It is hard for me to express the feelings I have around you and the fact that you are not with us anymore, in a foreign language... But I will do it as you believed and proved by croning 2 frenchspeaking weekends that this work were transcending the language barrier.

I like to remember you facilitating my carpet work in 97 and thank you because you, your presence, energy, compassion and wisdom showed me the way. You have done so much for me, for the WW Community and supported the beginnings of Sacrée Femme!, our frenchspeaking community.

It is an honor and a pride for me to have you in my life and I'm sad that I will not see you again. I admire your courage, respect the decisions you've made in your life...What an empowered woman! You will always be a great role model for me.

Thank you for every moments, sharings, giggles we had together.
I already miss you , the sparkles in your eyes, your laughters...

With all my love,

Teresita,

Thank you for giving us a place to share and remember all of the wonderful memories we all have of Sheri.

I will never forget her and the impact that she had on my life in August of 2004. She faciliated a WEW workshop that I attended and I had just finished my weeekend in St. Louis in June. Thinking nothing could be more profound than my initial weekend BOY WAS I WRONG!!! Sheri was amazing!!!

I remember her laughter, her smile, the sparkle in her eyes and the compassion that she showed to me when the tears fell or when I felt to less of a woman to speak my truth. She gave me such wisdom and gentleness as I spent that weekend with her. I remember thinking "Damn, I want to be like this woman when I grow up!"

Sheri, your love and compassion and uniqueness is overwhelming. I mean look at this site filled with love and grief and truth...the things that you taught us were alright to share as a woman. The one thing I remember that you told me from that August in Kentucky was to stop rewounding myself. Leave the past behind and move forward. I can be honest and say today that is still hard for me to do and yet I still hear your whisper in my ear telling me "Heather, stop rewounding yourself!" I will never forget the profound impact your life has had on not only me BUT millions of men and women in this world.

One last quote from you and I will leave room for others, "It's not the destination; It's the journey!" What a legacy you have left for all of us. What awe you leave us in! I love you and you leaving us so quickly reminds me to cherish every day and remind myself again, "It's not the destination; it's the journey!" Thank you again for your love and compassion.

Dear, beautiful, woman - sacred soul, full of laughter and love. In your dying you modelled for us as you did with your life. You chose your way, did it with dignity and empowerment. I can almost see the smile on your face as you passed under the full moon. The void you've left is great, and you have taught us by your own life to step up and fill it. I bless you, Sheri, as your journey continues without your earthly being. I will miss you, miss knowing you are there, miss the other times we might have shared. I send deepest sympathy to your parents and dearest friends as they grieve the loss of you. Please continue to bless us all from your new place of peace and freedom from pain.

With much love,

Rise Up Slowly, Angel
By Diane Roberton


Rise up slowly, Angel,
I cannot let you go.
Just drift softly ‘midst the faces
In sorrow, now bent low.
Ease the searing anger,
Born in harsh, unyielding truth
That Death could steal my loved one
From the glowing blush of youth.

Rise up slowly, Angel,
Do not leave me here alone,
Where the warmth of mortal essence
Lies replaced by cold, hard stone.
Speak to me in breezes, whispered
Through the drying leaves,
And caress my brow with raindrops
Filtered by the sheltering trees.

Rise up slowly, Angel,
For I cannot hear the song
Which calls you through the shadows
Into the light beyond.
Wrap me in a downy cape
Of sunshine, warm with love
And kiss a tear-stained mother’s face
With moonlight from above.

Then, wait for me at sunset,
Beside the lily pond,
And guide me safely homeward
To your world, which lies beyond.
Just spread your arms to take me
In reunion’s sweet embrace,
And we shall soar together
To a different time and place.

I love you Sheri,
Mary Ann Hartnett

Dear Sheri,

I remember feeling immediately at-ease when I first met you. You projected such power and love, but it was your open authenticity that really drew me in. “This is someone I can trust” I said to myself. You exuded WOMAN. You took up your own glorious space without encroaching upon mine or anyone else’s. I noticed how comfortable other women and men were with you.

I also felt recognition when I first saw you and I am convinced we have been together before at another time. I’m equally convinced that we will be together again in another time and place.

I very much want you to know that our relationship was the catalyst for huge changes in my life. The work I did with you was powerful and I continue, to this day, to reap countless benefits from the insights, skills, tools, and new perceptions about myself that I received from you. You have the gift of being direct, going deep, being correct, and working quickly. There were aspects of myself that no other healers ever saw or pointed out to me. I was able to take in so much from you because I didn’t need my defenses up high to protect myself so much. You were safe. You were very safe.

In the days, weeks, months and now years since our coaching sessions, when I am confronted with another frigging growth opportunity, I ask myself, “Now what would Sheri say?” And there is ALWAYS an answer. I hear your wise voice pointing something out to me, showing me the way, offering a “reframe,” reminding me to listen to My Inner Critic and sort out the valuable information from the exaggerated and often untrue information.

Where would I be without your healing presence? Alone, unhappy, self-doubting, fearful and living a small, dull, cautious life. Where am I now? Living my dream and earning a living at it; in a relationship with a wonderful man; fully embracing sacred mothering of my son with all of its joys and sorrows; working clean and lovingly on keeping myself open and growing in relationships; learning, growing and teaching; fully embracing my WOMANHOOD.

Sheri, when you make your sacred passage from this world into the next, I know I will continue to hear your loving, wise, strong, powerful and knowing voice for all the days that I shall live. Some lights are just too bright to go out and yours is one of them. Your light will shine on and on in my heart and in the hearts of so many who you have touched.

I hope that we stay connected in spirit always and forever. Meet me at the gate Sheri and we’ll live, laugh, love and learn together again. I hold you in my heart always and forever. I pray every day for your well-being.

Please know how very much I love you. And I send healing love to your parents.

Mary Ann

I know more of who I am because of who you are and who you chose to be. The ripple affect has been tremendous. You are a catalyst for me reclaiming my voice and inturn allowing me to support others in doing the same. And the impact is infinite and lives on in the infinite.

Thank you all for the lovely memories of Sheri. Sheri touched my heart; I am not able to articulate the loss any better than what has already been said. However, I am able to sit with my sadness and know that I am a stronger woman thanks to Sheri.

The first time I met Sheri I thought boy I want some of what she has! Of course, months later when I told her she replied, “The gold you see in me, is the gold you have in you!”

I attended a workshop lead by Sheri in 2004. I did not believe I was smart enough to finish college. Sheri convinced me to feel the fear and do it anyway.

I finally graduated from college at the age of 41 this past December. I was able to send Sheri a note in December to express my gratitude.

May the light of Sheri's spirit keep her alive in all of hearts.


I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but the spirits’ love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And they came themselves to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with an arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our spirits' will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in gods' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

well, how can I begin to draw a tender rose and hand it onto you Sheri? Ten years have passed since I last saw you, but let me put it down this way: I was honored to staff with you a few times in Delavan;
I am ack living in France now, in Paris. But many days I have wondered how you were doing over there in California
I did my week-end in March 95, or was it 94? I decided to go on the facilitation track, though I was french and not native american speaking, partly because you helped me fight the fears I had I might speak or behave wrongly with the initiates; Thanks from the bottom of my herat for your advices, your laughters, your smiles and the gentleness fierceness in your eyes.
I have had regrets not to go further down my journey with you, but life is such.

May you be a bright and shining star, pursuing your travel on the Sunny hills. And may your family and frends be blessed too

with much love and thanks

Teresita...thank you so much for doing this. my emotions have been completely shut down since i got news of sheri's passing. she was such a dear, dear friend. she was the only face i remember seeing the night of my bleed (other than my husband)...she sat at the edge of my bed with a closeness only sheri could be comfortable with, and i kept saying over and over that i didn't want to die, and she held my fear and me that night and many nights after and over the following months...i will miss her from a place in my heart that no one else knows. anyhow, my point is, i am sobbing. and so grateful to finally be feeling my loss...our loss. i'm a mess and grateful for it. thank you thank you thank you

I met Sheri in December, 1996, during my WWTW. She, along with Carol Kahn, facilitated my work on that amazing Saturday afternoon. She guided me into finding my voice, my strong woman's voice. I saw in her a woman strong and brave enough to follow her dreams and glimpsed the same possibities within myself.

As I met Sheri now and then over the the past ten years, I continued to see her strength, courage and resiliency though adversity and as a result again, could see the same possibilities within myself. Sheri was a wise and intuitive teacher and and a caring woman who reached out to both men and women in the WW and MKP community.

There has been great comfort for me in hearing that she died quickly and peacefully. I see her photo and think, "Oh, Sheri, why did you have to be taken away fom us so soon." I, along with countless men and women, miss her very much.

Go in peace Sheri,

Thank you for creating and sharing this wonderful site honoring Sheri.
I did not meet Sheri through WW... Sheri was brought into my life through my good friend, Kai...

Our relationship came about as part of her professional coaching business. Sheri presented her session on "Personal Accountability" to our staff. Here are a few of the comments from the 28 women she inspired last June.
• What hit me the hardest was “If things aren’t going well in your life up until this point – then change what you are doing for the future.”
• Learning how not to fall into victim thinking. Learning the right way to say no. Not to be so hard on myself.
• Just to see how we or I can solve a lot of my own problems or at least be thinking of solutions. No more victim thinking!! I’d like to be part of the solution, not the problem...
• The celebration concept is awesome.
• I really like the way Sheri made a personal connection with everyone (me) – it ensured trust.
• Personal Accountability is the key to “Life”.
• I thought the whole presentation was wonderful and to have all these feelings that are common sense to most of brought to the surface was very eye opening. She definitely inspired me to change the way I think everyday, which will carry over to more organization, productivity, and feelings of accomplishment.

Thank you Sheri... for teaching us all of this and so much more...
not through training, but in how you truly lived your life and shared so much of yourself with so many others.

My prayers are with Sheri's loved ones. Rest in peace, Sheri and may perpetual light shine upon you.
Until we meet again.

My dearest friend,

I feel so blessed our lives have crossed in this life time. I have received so much from you and I continue to learn from your journey. When we met in Michigan, just two months after my move to the United States, you showed me the way. You created a safe environment for me to put down my mask and I allowed you and others to see me. You taught me how to build bridges instead of walls and how to set my boundaries as I stayed in connection with others. You trusted me and I trusted you. You believed in me and I believed in you.

As the time passed and we sat in circle together you became my friend, my mentor, my teacher, my support. You have always been there for me and I hope you felt me there for you as well. Our lives have continued to cross as you moved to Chicago and I moved to California. I strongly believe they will continue to cross in the future. I believe our connection is not a connection of the body, but of the soul, and souls don't have boundaries of time or material existence.

I will miss you so much, our conversations, our adventures, our dreams. It is hard for me to let you go and I know this is what you need right now. So you have all my love, all my blessings and all of what you have given me.

I love you so much Sheri, and I will continue to do so in Earth and beyond. The pictures I am sending are special to me because this is how I have felt you all this time. As my angel, my support, my friend. I am sending them to you, so that we can see each other one more time.

As the year begins, I feel in transition as well. You have always encouraged me to coach, facilitate and do my own workshops. It has been comfortable for me to hide behind others for fear to fail. Your sickness has marked a threshold for me. It is time for me to grow up and show up. To realize what you saw in me. To put into practice everything I have learned from you. You have been such and example for me and will continue to be. Your courage, your honesty, your passion, your determination, your integrity, your professionalism, your wisdom, your love. I feel called to help others and I commit to live my dream following your example.

Thank you for everything Sheri, thank you for your love, your trust, your unconditional truth, your support. Thank you for being yourself and for being in my life.

I love you with all my heart and I wish for our spirits to continue having long conversations and dancing together. Please stay in connection "desde el mas alla".

Much love, blessings and peace,

Cynthia

Sheri lives on in my memory as a huge smile with sparkling, playful, soulful eyes. She facilitated my process on the weekend and although it was powerful, I knew it had only cracked something open. On Sunday morning, I searched for Sheri to ask for help with the pain that was about to explode out of me. As we walked the circle for grief, I ended up in her lap, as I knew I should, and she helped me release the pain I had so long resisted. Years later, Sheri was the Crone on many weekends when I was on the facilitation team, and I always felt safe, supported and mentored by her. I've recently lost two other close friends who were much too young and I hold them in my mind as if they still walked this earth. And in doing so, they ARE here with me, with all the gifts they've given. Namaste, Sheri.

Sheri was one of the leaders of my weekend in February 1996. At that time, I was trying to decide whether to become trained as a Shadow Work facilitator, and I saw Sheri as a powerful role model, a woman who could be both loving and firm, which for me at the time was a big stretch to imagine. I also knew women who saw Sheri as a therapist and heard great things about her work with them.

I am at a loss for words. Sheri and I were best friends in junior high in Iowa and she introduced me to her wonderful CA lifestyle. I ended up moving there because of what she and her family showed me. I came upon this today, much too late, and cannot believe this. I am so sad for Sheri and her dear parents Dick and Ruth who were always so good to me. I am also so sorry for the loss of their precious son as well. I am so sorry I was not there in her/your time of need, and so sorry that we lost touch over the years. She and Rick were truly one of a kind and very loving and touched so many peoples' lives. I truly hope they are at peace now and the world was a much better place when they were here. My deepest condolences to the family, I am so saddened and sorry.

Was shocked when I saw that Sheri passed away. I've known the Zuccato Family since High School. I would like to contact Richard and Ruth if anyone can point me in the right direction. Lost track of them all after Sherri's brother passed away. (Rick my friend) My email is runepath@yahoo.com Thanks Virgil Wulf.

I ask my wife to squeeze me every morning when I wake up and check my bank account. I have never seen this amount in my bank account.

All my colleagues thought I was crazy when I left the company to devote myself entirely to the Bitcoin System software. Now that the profit is 384,594 euros, all my colleagues CAN let them in.
