To the Family of Mrs. Sheridan,
I had Mrs. Sheridan as my 3rd grade teacher at the Shawsheen School in Tewksbury. She was truly one of my favorite teachers – I just had my 50th High School Reunion and we all talked about the teachers we had first – third grade and her name was brought up and I told them she was the reason I loved spelling. Great memories.
My deepest sympathy to all of you,
Barbara Field- Elwell

My condolence to the Sheridan family. A nice lady, who always smiled and waved, while driving by my house, when I was outside doing yard work. Rest in peace
