So sorry about Sherry’s passing. Prayers for family.
I am so sorry to learn of Sherry’s passing. My heart goes out to all of the family. I know there’s nothing I can say to ease your pain. I hope, in time, all the wonderful memories you have of her will be a comfort to you all. I’ll be joining you in prayers and remembrances of this wonderful lady.
I got to speak with Sherry every 3 months being her Pest Control technician. She was always sweet to me and her humor always stuck out. My prayers are with her family and I’ll miss seeing her. She had very dedicated daughters who made sure she knew she was loved.
So many fond memories of your parents! Watching the Jerry Lewis Telethon, to cutting wood or shooting guns to watching scary Sammy Terry late night with your mom. Or who could forget playing Pit with the bull and bear and the Bell. They were a special couple with large hearts.
