“Dear Sherry,
I would like to thank you for all your input and effort on this recent commission, and to say that I have worked with many sculptors over the last nearly 25 years and I can safely say that you stand out as the most steadfast and staunch to get the job done properly no matter what. This is quite apart from your astonishingly gifted art. It is always a pleasure to work with you knowing that you will always produce the best no matter at what cost to your self with your infectious joy of creation and enthusiasm. So I would recommend you to any one who wants only the best.
All the best with all you strive for, "
