To Sherry's Family,
I just found out today (05/29), when I went to p/u my scripts that Sherry had passed away. I'm so saddened by this news, even though I was no more than a customer of Sherry's. Sherry ALWAYS had a smile on Her face as She spoke of Her Family regularly & w/Love...
She lovingly completed Her part in caring for me when I was @ my sickest & ALWAYS spoke 'positives' reassuring Me that I was gonna come out fine & helped to keep Me going...
She will be terribly missed by a great many Folks...

Sherry now has earned angelic wings...
