Hi. My name is Rose Walker Burbidge. I just learned of Sherry's passing this morning. I am so very sorry for your loss. It's been years since Sherry and I've seen each other, but we graduated from Oriskany together so that makes us school family. Again, my condolences and may she rest in peace.

We spent so much of the best years of our lives misdirected in our values and needs and wants. I am happy to reconnect with my former best friend again. Your grandkids say it all.
so odd, My first wife, Halloween. My next 15 years with Stephanie, Halloween. Sherri, Halloween. I felt her loss today like it was 20 years ago. a million laughs and smiles. May God have a place for her where she's again safe and happy. I am grateful she didn't suffer the indigence that we know comes with lingering illness.
My heart goes out to you and to her and to her family and friends. RIP, Sheri! give 'em hell for me as I'm sure my day will come. and thanks for the many many good memories.
God Bless and keep her.
