What follows is one of Caryn's published poems. The trees sway from side to side as the winter winds blow. It's as if they wave goodbye to you every time you go. Then the sun will go down as the world takes its turn, And it will not shine as bright 'till the day you return Then all that will remain is your footprints in the snow. Which in time will start to fade and even they will go. But my memories of you could never fade away, for each time you leave I will miss you every day. Because you mean so much You're the one I hold true And you'll be with me always For my heart belongs to you. The Pfeffer Funeral Home and Cremation Care Center, Manitowoc is assisting the family with funeral arrangements. Caryn will be missed dearly by everyone whose lives she touched. She will be in our hearts always ... and forever. Memorials may be made in Caryn's name to Lakeshore Humane Society. Herald Times Reporter, Nov. 4, 2007

The family has the sympathy of the public in the double bereavement which has come to it. Mr. Scherer's death was due to injuries, which he sustained three weeks ago when he suffered the fracture of his hip in a fall on an icy walk. Owing to his advanced age, the inury was a most serious one and his ????tion had held out little hope of recover. The death of his son a few days ago undoubtedly hastened his demise, proving a great shock to him. The accident which resulted in the death of Mr. Scherer occurred at his home, 1219 So. Eleventh street, three weeks ago and he was removed to the hospital where his death occurred ??? night. Mr. Scherer was 83 years of age and a native of Germany. He came to America sixty two years ago and for more than half a century had been a resident in this city, and was married here. Mr. Scherer served in the civil war as a member of the 45th Wisconsin and later returned here. He was a member of Walker Post, G.A.R. and was well known. Besides his aged widow, who is prostrated by the double bereavement in the death of her husband and son, Mr. Scherer is survived by three children, Edward, this city, Mrs. Charles West of Milwaukee and Henry, Jr., of Neshoto, Mrs. West, who was here for the funeral of her brother, Ald. Scherer had returned to Milwaukee last evening and upon arrival there received the message announcing the death of her father and she will return for the funeral. The funeral for Mr. Scherer will be held Sunday afternoon from the Reformed church of which he had been an active member for more than forty years.

Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, February 4, 1916 P.3 ******** One of the sad incidents in connection with the death of the late Henry Scherer, Sr., is the fact that had Mr. Scherer lived until August, this year, he and his wife would have celebrated their diamond wedding. Mr. Scherer was planning on the event even a few days before the injury which led to his death and the day before he died was talking about it to his son. The funeral has been changed, instead of Sunday it will take place on Saturday afternoon from the Reformed Church.
