I first met Sherry at a store called Elder Beerman. She worked in the cosmetic department and I simply adored her. I wanted to work in the cosmetic department too. When I finally made it, Sherry taught me so much. She mentored me. THEN, We went to Bible college together in Lakeland Florida at Southeastern Bible College. We went out a lot too. We were very close. The last time I talked to her she was in Florida. I've been looking for her ever since. Now, it's 2024. And I just found out. This world is not the same without Sherry in it. I remember the condo she lived in with her mom and dad and her sister. I remember that the living room was all white. The carpet, the The couch, everything, including the dog. I miss laying out in the sun with her. I have LOTS of wonderful memories of her and with her. We did a lot of Bible studying together too. My condolences and prayers to the entire family.

To Sherry's family and friends,
I was blessed to be one of Sherry's close friends in school. I am sad that we lost touch over the years, but thankful to know that one day I will see her again in God's Kingdom. I will be praying for you as you grieve the loss of your daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend. May you be comforted by the Holy Spirit and receive peace.

I can't express my shock and sorrow at seeing Sherry's obituary. I have not talked to the Wyatt family in years, but some of my fondest memories of high school include those crazy Wyatt girls and their family. I know Sherry will be missed and also know that faith and love of the Lord will give great comfort to her family in knowing she is with Him.

Carmen, Justin and Gina--
It is such a blow to lose someone like Sherry. I hope you are able to accept the comfort of God and all your friends at this sad time. The end of suffering leaves a huge hole for the survivors to fill. Everyone will help you if you ask, some even if you don't. Prayers for you and for her will strengthen you every day. God bless you all.

I was shocked and saddened to read that Sherry had passed away. I spoke to her several years ago and we talked about old times in Junior High and High School. She was one of my best buddies growing up, and we spent alot of time together. My sincere sympathy goes out to her family, parents, and sisters.She will be missed by all who knew her.
