My sympathy and love to the family on your loss. Thank-you Mr. Sirbaugh for taking us to the Handley games while we were in school. Without your sacrifice, I would not have had the experience of attending many if not all of these games. I am grateful that you gave me the opportunity and the experience. May your journey be filled with peace and love..Shelia Clark Hansen
