Sheryl was my second mom. She was at every major event in my life and I will miss her deeply. I take comfort in knowing that she has been reunited with her best friend, my mother, and the two of them will be looking down on us together.

Sheryl was like a second mom and confidante to me growing up. I will miss her deeply and know she is looking down on all of us right next to my mom from heaven.

Condolences to both the Bruckman and the Gordon families. May the God of promise help comfort you at this time of loss. Remember her smiles and laughter as you share her example of joy. (Isaiah 65:17-19)

My dearest Auntie Sherry. Always smiling, laughing and kind to everyone. Being an only child, my mom considered Sherry as a sister rather than a cousin with their short 7month difference in age. I remember listening to their phone calls and the treasured times we got to be together in person, Sherry and my mom would talk and laugh and giggle more like two 8 year olds at a slumber party rather than two grown women with children of their own . I hope there is some small comfort in knowing the giggles and laughs of two little girls will continue with me and Blaire, also seven months apart and our sons born within weeks of eachother. We love you Sherry. Give Selma a hug for us.

Sheryl was the most wonderful person that was my late wife's best friend since kindergarten and her and Barry were my best friends for 52 years. I will miss her and her kindness for the rest of my life and I wish Barry, Jason,Shauna, Blaire, Mike and their families my deepest sympathy and well wishes.
