To my family Fredonia Carthen and family I know the lost that you had today is difficult you may feel that you cannot go on but know that God is with you He will give you the strength to endure. He will lead you and guide you. John 14:18 says No, I will not abandon you or leave you as orphans in the storm I will come to you. The Lord heals the Brokenhearted binding up their wounds. You are in our prayers. Sharon Gentry Ray and family

God knows your heartache and shares your grief. As a co instructor with Sherman in the Carl Holmes Executive Institute there are no words to describe the loss of him as an master instructor and one of the pioneers to this great institute of fire service personnel. I am sure that our Board, Staff and Instructors will agree that his loss has made a definite impact on this great institute. Not only has his loss affected EDI but others who have experienced his teaching across the United States. May we say " Rest In Peace for you now have received your reward for a job well done. 2Timothy 2:4-7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. God Bless the family

It is with heavy hearts that we remember Sherman as our kind, gentle, and funny friend. He was always so encouraging to us. His smile could light up any room, his booming voice was a joy to those around him and his laughter was contagious. We will miss him greatly, and our communities will miss his giving spirit and tireless commitment.
