I got a call from my mom that Sherri was ill a few weeks ago. I am very sorry that my call or card did not come sooner. She was a magnificant lady that touch the lives of so many! She encouraged me to become a teacher as well. Tanner and I feel blessed to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! I John 3:1 (NIV)
Sherry is my grandparent-in-law who lavished the love of the Father on our grandchildren! This, Al, will last for generations to come.

I want you to know how much you have touched not only my family's lives, but so many others. My children have learned so much from you and I appreciate all you have done for them. Sadie, at only 4 years old is spreading the word about God and when asked how she knows all this she replies "Mrs. Sherry taught me" You were an angel here on earth but am at peace with you running with Jesus in Heaven.

What a blessing and privilege to have known and served our Lord with Sherry. Her love for Him and His children was always evident in her life. She will be greatly missed here on earth, but will be seen again for eternity by the many lives that she touched and influenced while she was here.
May God keep you all in the palm of His loving hand and give you each an extra measure of grace in the times ahead.
