Sharn and I have been friends for many years. I first met her through her sister, Carol Metro, who has been my friend since Jr. High. I also worked with Sherrie at Tempo Store, many years ago. She has always been a wonderful person who had a smile for anyone and who had time to be a good friend. She will be missed by many.

I know Shayrn was a talented seamstress and knitter. She was very close to her children. That is how I met Shayrn. I know her daughter Jenny and her family loved and counted on her for her words of wisdom. She will be missed by many. She was a remarkable person! God Bless all her family and friends as they grieve and carry on her memories.
