Many comments were made about how warm and outgoing the Sheryl and Tom Duet and Friends are... I think that's a heckuva compliment. I really, really appreciate everything that everyone did last night... it made the evening one that won't soon be forgotten by the folks who were there. I think if we do a summer event it will be VERY well attended after word gets around about the joyful celebration we took part in last night.” Tom and Virginia, Watson Park Church, Chicago

October 26, 2009 “We just wanted to send a BIG THANK YOU to you and the musician friends that played at the Our Lady of the Angels recent 50th Class Reunion. As you could see, we had a terrific time and there's no doubt that your music was what pushed the success of the reunion over the top. You played all those songs and tunes we used to hear when we were kids way back when. And what a good time we had listening, singing along and attempting to dance like we used to do 50 years ago. In spite of our "advanced age" we felt like kids all over again re-living the fun we used to have at sock hops and other dances. Everyone had the most favorable comments about SHERYLANDTOM and we all agreed that your music made the evening a success. Thank you again and again for all you did to make the OLA 50th Reunion such a terrific success. Most didn't want the evening to end and wished we could have stayed all night to dance and chat the evening away. We are grateful that Vito Grimaldi, one of the committee members, gave us the information about your musical abilities, and even happier that we enjoyed it so much. You guys ROCK. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please keep us posted of local engagements you have. We'd love to listen to the group all over again!!! Annette F. Szafran, Administrative Secretary.

I am looking forward to seeing what is next in store for me, but please know that if I EVER have the chance to hire you again I most certainly will. I will also keep tabs on you so I can come and see you perform and experience it all without having to work. :o) You're truly an angel Sheryl...thank you from the bottom of my heart.
