To the Graves Family. We are so very sorry for your loss. When we heard, it devastated us. We have known Sherman for a very long time and we became very close friends in the early 80’s. He spent a lot of time at my husband’s gym (Doug’s Gym) working out 5-6 times a week. Although we didn’t keep in touch as much as we should have, we loved him very much and will miss him dearly. May God Bless you and your family as you move forward, and may God provide you strength with every step. With love and prayers, the Lindzy Family.
