To the Marshall family–I am so sorry I will be out of town for the viewing..
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
So sorry for your family’s loss. Sherry had a warm smile and wonderful laugh. Prayers for peace and comfort for you all
Had the privilege of working with Shari in Columbus. She was a wonderful colleague and a great person. So sorry to hear of her passing and so sorry for your loss.
While we only knew Shari while she had Alzheimer’s, she was such a joy to be around. Our family absolutely loved her, including my daughter. She was a treasure and will be missed. So much love to her family and friends.
I’m so very sorry for Jim and the rest of Shari’s family. She was one of my favorite people at Nationwide. She always had a smile on her face. She was the last person I saw in the elevator going down on my retirement day at Nationwide. We laughed about our time in Claims and at the Training Center. She reminded there was way more to life than Uncle Nate. So right you were Shari! Godspeed.
