I am deeply saddened to hear this heartbreaking news! I will always remember the good times Sherry and I had at work, and I am truly grateful I had the opportunity to know this amazing lady. Please accept my deepest condolences 🙏
To family and friends, I can only imagine your loss. Sufice to say, I am praying for your entire family. As a class member of Sherry’s she was too young, and really just getting to the best part of life in retirement. Finally able to enjoy doing what she loved, and spending time with those whom she loved dearly. I am saddened by the news of her passing. God bless you all and comfort you all at this most difficult time.
Sherry and I were friends in junior high. She did not have a perfect childhood, but she was definitely loved and cared for. Sherry was crazy fun and I always loved her sparkling eyes and mischievous crooked smile. She was always one of the girls who dressed ‘cool’ and knew how to style her hair and make-up. We went to Auto City together a few times for motorcycle races and had sleepovers where we snuck out and tried to find trouble wherever we could! Like many childhood friends we grew in different directions in high school, but it makes me happy that she made a loving family and had a good life. So sorry it was not longer. Love and prayers for all who love her.
