I miss my friend Sheryl so much. It has almost been a year and I miss seeing her at school every day. I miss being able to pick up the phone and share the day with her..."Did you hear about...? What do you think about...? Did you see...?" I miss her hugs and the sparkle in her eyes. I miss the way she made me feel so loved and special - the way only she could do. I think of her every day and am happy that she stays on my mind and so close to my heart. She was amazing in every way. I feel so honored to have known her and will miss her forever.

Mrs Searcy,
It's been 3 months since you've left and there hasn't been a day gone by that I haven't thought about you. I remember your love and energy everyday. Somehow, it lifts me up during hard times. I know you are still watching over all of us and that compforts me. I love you and will continue to remember you until you and I meet. I love you.

Sheryl was absolutely an angel on this earth. There is no way to measure the number of lives that she touched because they are endless. Sheryl was kind, caring and oh so very loving. She accepted and loved all people for who they were - never judging - just loving. She will live forever in our hearts and I pray her legacy will continue through all of us as we strive to pass on the gifts of life that she gave so freely.

To my Wife;
Sweetheart, I have loved you from the first time I saw you, and from that moment there could be no one else for me. And yet, you and I were so different. I was an inhibited, predictable perfectionist. You were a passionate, compassionate crusader with this rebellious, mischievous streak. No one could predict what you would do or say next. In short, you were irresistible.
We got married and began to figure out how to get along as husband and wife. Given our youth, this would have been challenging enough, but we had to learn to be parents at the same time. The responsibility of being a father terrified me, but I received some wonderful advice in a Bible class at just the right time. The teacher said that the most important thing a father could do for his children was to love their mother. Now this I could do. Loving you was the easiest thing I could think of. So, I loved you and Julie, prayed, and slowly began to catch on. I still don’t know how you put up with me. Over the years, you chipped away at my “shell” and I kept you “grounded”. You balanced and completed me. Together we raised our wonderful daughter, Julie. You get 90% of the credit for that. Julie learned to be a woman, a wife, and a mother, from watching you. All she learned from me was how to fish and to check the oil in her car. But she did know that her Mother and Father were in love and loved her, and that the three of us were a family.
In time, Julie grew into a beautiful, intelligent young woman and married a wonderful man, Eric. We were so proud of her and so in awe of the adult she had become in spite of our dubious parenting skills. And finally, Julie and Eric gave us the greatest gift of all, a grandson. Aiden Michael Anderson soon became the center of our universe. I know he will miss his "Nona", but I will do my very best to fill in. I will read to him as you did, but I can’t do the voices and sound effects as well as you. He will not forget you. And I am betting that he will "get up and dance".
Many of those here today know you as a teacher. That is appropriate as it was your passion and your life’s work. You were born to teach. I am so very proud of you and what you have done for so many kids. I, more than most, know how much you cared and how hard you worked to help “your babies” succeed. You never gave up on them, and I know the tears and the emotional toll that commitment took on you. The notes and letters from your students, thanking you for having faith in them and for teaching them to never give up, always awed me. You often told me that teenagers couldn’t be fooled, that they could spot a “phony” a mile away. There was never any doubt that you were the “real thing”. You were kind and caring to everyone you met, whether an administrator or cafeteria worker, teacher or bus driver. Your work was harder and infinitely more important than mine, and you often worked day and night. I know you did it for the students, because it could not have been for the money.
Sheryl, we can’t see you or hear your voice, but you are still around us. I can see you in Aiden’s smile and hear you in Julie’s voice. There is a part of you in the lives of each of your students (past and present), in the elementary kids that your student-mentors have tutored and in the children that your B.E.S.T.T. students will some day teach. That is your legacy. As long as there are dedicated teachers and programs for students to mentor younger children and be encouraged to become teachers themselves, your legacy will never end.
Well, Sweetheart I have to close for now. I have always said that you are the single best person I have ever known. You were my confidant, my lover, my counselor, my best friend, and my biggest fan. You made me so much better than I was, and I love you more than life itself. You left such a huge void in my heart and in my life; I am not sure how to go on without you. The pain I feel right now is so very great, but I know I will heal in time. I will be here to look after Julie, Eric and Aiden as long as God allows. All of us here who loved you will have to lean on God and each other to bear our loss. I am sustained only by the promise of joining you again some day. Goodbye for now, my love.
Glen

I had only met Mrs. Searcy once but I knew she was an amazing person inside and out. I know how hard it is to lose someone you are very close to so abruptly, and so my prayers go out to the friends, family and students that had their lives touched by Mrs. Searcy.

To Mr. Searcy and his family, I wish to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family at this time of grief. May God give you the comfort that only He can provide. Mrs Searcy was one of my junior high teachers at Southeast Church of Christ. She was always so warm and caring and made an awkward teenager feel so loved and accepted. I will always remember her and her family in my thoughts and prayers...

Sheryl and I first met as pre-teens when we both lived in Clear Creak Estates. I ate more than one summer sandwich made by her mom. My family and I moved to another part of Pearland and we developed new friends, grew-up and moved on with our lives.
Not long ago I contacted her through an online classmates site and received a surprise E-mail from her asking how I was and what I had been up to. About a week later I responded to that E-mail but sadly received no answer.
Judging from the sentiments I have read, she led a life full of joy, good work and she did something we all would like to be able to say, in the end, we did: She made a positive impact on others.
I am so sad to hear of her passing but I will always have the memory of that bright, freckle-faced youngster I knew so long ago.

To the family, I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss her very much. We worked together to help some of our mutual students. Her love of her students and teaching was apparent from our first conversation. She was an excellent teacher and I am glad that I was fortunate enough to know her.

I graduated back in 94, Mrs. Searcy was my reading teacher. She was the sweetest teacher and person; she made the biggest difference in people's lives and she was the best teacher at Pearland. It was just last xmas that I got an angel ornament from her in the mail-- she started sending one every year. I will always remember her when I see that angel on the tree.

To all of Sheryl's family:
She will be missed by all who love her. My son, Marcus, had her as a third grade teacher. I taught at the same school with her. She has been a long time friend. Marcus will be 30 in June, so it's been a long time since thrid grade. He still remembers how much fun learning was with Mrs. Searcy. He has been battling cancer for the last 5 years. Sheryl has checked on him often and has prayed for him continuously. I loved this lady!

I remember Sheryl as a child, when I was a teenager, in Pearland in the early 60s, and then again, as an adult in the early 80s when our children attended the same school. She was a very sweet child, and a delightful adult; charming and articulate. The world is a poorer place without her. Rest in peace, dear Sheryl, and I'll have a Napoleon from a French Bakery in your honor.

Several years ago Sheryl and I taught next to each other in the same hall. It was only for a couple of years, but I always felt comfortable with her and I could tell her students did too. My heart goes out to you in this time of sorrow. God Bless You.

I am currently in Mrs. Searcy's Cross-Age Tutoring class. She was an amazing woman. She would have done anything for us. She loved us as if we were her own. I know we all loved her. I can only hope that when I become a teacher, my students will look at me the way I looked at Mrs. Searcy. The next month of school will never be the same. Nor will the rest of my life. But it is compforting to know that she is looking down on us right now and making sure we are ok. She was more than a teacher. She was a friend and to some a mother. I love her and will forever miss her.

To Glen Jr. and family, Rusty and Glen and family, and to the many friends and students of Sheryl.
Sheryl and I met many years ago when we were counseling at Church Camp Mohawk in Alvin. She was not only a friend, but a cousin. We came to know and appreciate each other as teachers and Christian sisters. Sheryl was always a ray of sunshine and God blessed her with an easy journey home to sit at the feet of our Master. We were blessed to have known her for a short while, we look forward to knowing and loving her forever in Eternity. Cherish your memories.
With much love and appreciation for this dear woman.

Mrs Searcy was one of the best teachers in the world. She always had a smile on her face and a welcoming hug to come into. She was my teacher for 3 years, Cross-age tutoring, Bestt, and tafe. I loved when she would read to us, she made it so exiting. I talked to Mrs. Searcy about 2 weeks ago, to tell her that i was going to be a mom, and she was exited if i had just told my mom about the upcoming baby. She was always proud of her students when they did something good. I will miss you very much Mrs.Searcy. I love you.

On behalf of Donna and Tom Jones, we whould like to express our deepest sympathies on the passing of Sheryl. We will remember Sheryl as a beautiful, loving and warm person who always went out of her way to make us feel welcomed at family get-togethers and other occasions.
