Anderson Family
I offer my sincere condolences to you in the homegoing of Sherry. We worked together many years at (C&P, Bell Atlantic) and Verizon. We worked in Repair and we were a big family. Sherry did always make everyone laugh and have a good time. Although I had not seen her recently I would inquire about her through other mutual friends. I will keep you all in my prayers.

I was so saddened to hear about Sherry. What a wonderful person! I could always count on Sherry for a good laugh, and at work at Verizon, that was often needed. I think of her often. My prayers are with you Tony, I feel I know you, your Mom talked of you often.

Grandma,

If tears could build a stairway, and memories were a lane, I would walk right up to heaven to bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye, You were gone before I knew it, and I don't know why. My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you, NO ONE will ever know.
Although I have to say good-bye, in my heart you will always be. I don't really understand why God took you away from me.
Rest In Peace
