To the family of Sherry Lee Crape, We send our deepest sympathies and condolences to you and the entire family. I remember Great-Aunt Bertie, Sherry's grandmother, very well. She used to tell some great family stories of the Newman and Swanson families. I am the granddaughter of Rachel, Bertie's sister. Rachel and Bertie were very close and lived in the same town for many years in Rawlins, Wyoming. Please accept our sympathies and condolences,

Sherry, I remember you from back in the Seventies and have wondered about what happened to you many times since. Your kids and mine use to play together when we lived in Sultan. My heart is sad for you and your children. May God be with them in this time of need. Patty, Butch, Ron and Lori

To Sherry's family my condolences. Sherry was a great gal and made quite an impact in my life. Her humor was wonderful and her strength admirable. She made a difference in the lives of those around her and she was just plain fun to hang with. We shared many, many conversations over the past 20 years although we seemed to lose contact the last few years. I've talked about her often and how she helped change my life. She was a good woman and I will miss her.
