dear caryn,steve, nicholas, sydney, harriett,courtney & family, francis:

i have been out of the country since learning of sherry's death, and deeply regret your loss and that of those of us who truly loved sherry - a very brave lady who fought a long and painful battle. sherry's sense of humor, & concern about others was constant, to the end. sherry leaves a legacy of love,

strength, hope, generosity and bravery. i never ceased to be amazed by the above qualities, ever

present, in this woman, whom i knew since childhood. those of us who knew sherry well, will remember her

for her great strength and kindness to all -- and her unending, loving stories about nicholas and sydney,

along with her pride in caryn's

continued success. this was a great lady, mother, sister, grandma' and friend to all. i have lost a very special friend.

Sherry's family:

I want to send sincere condolensces to all of you. I too worked at Wunderman and knew Sherry for the last 8 years. She was a warm and caring person. When my Dad passed away suddenly a year ago Sherry was very concerned and sympathetic. I appreciated her compassion more than she knew. She will be missed professionally by all of us, and personally as well. Her memory will live on.

For Sherry Castro's family-

I just wanted to let you know we truly enjoyed having Sherry as part of our Wunderman family! Although I live in Orlando now, I spent many days in the Chicago office with Sherry (1997-2002), and really enjoyed working with her. My prayers are with your family.



Sincerely, Marci Rinker

My thoughts are prayers are with you and your family. Sherry and I worked together at Wunderman and she often talked about and shared pictures of her grandchildren with me. She was such a proud grandmother and a very special person.

Dear Caryn,

Please accept our deepest condolences on the death of your mother. We saw her on the 4th of July these last few years and could see her health was failing. She often spoke lovingly of you, your husband and children. She just adored those grandkids. We will miss her.



Sincerely, Tom and Millie
