There is rarely a day when I don't think about you, Sherry, you are still alive in my memory and I still miss you.

Sherry and I wrote two screenplays together, although we had never met. She taught me so much about about so many things and even though we never met face to face, we had a connection that was undeniable. I am still in shock and my condolences are with her family. She was a beautiful soul and her humor was unsurpassed. I will miss knowing she is on this planet but she will live on. The script we wrote is going to be made, if it's the last thing I do.

Sherry was such a wonderful person as well as being a talented author and true friend. We belonged to the Twin Valley RWA group together a few years back and I enjoyed her company. She was a true friend. My sympathies to her family.

I was so sorry to hear this. Sherry and I were critique partners and close friends for years. We lost touch for awhile but reconnected last year. She will be missed. Her writing was amazing and will live on. Karen Wiesner, Black River Falls, Wisconsin

What a blessing and honor
to have met Sherry. I thank her so much for loving my son and welcoming him as family. She truly made him feel special.
(Proverbs 31:25 amp)
Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure;
And she smiles at the future knowing that she and her family are prepared.
Thank you Jesus for the blessings that Sherry have brought to everyone. Let us honor her by living our lives as she would want. Give us peace and comfort through assurance that one day we will reunite in heaven. In your name, Amen
(Proverbs 31:28 amp)
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her
Sherry,
It is with great pleasure to have had the opportunity to spend time with you. I will continue to know through your beautiful daughter Nikki. Your love will shine through her heart now and always.

My deepest sympathy and prayers to all of you who loved Sherry. Sherry was by far my best childhood friend. She was so kind, fun, and hard-working. Her infectious laugh was the best! The memories I have of spending time with her at her childhood home are truly a treasure to me! We had so much fun - just running around outside, doing chores, riding bikes, watching over our siblings as we all romped around the yard, and making snacks for everyone. We didn't know we were making memories...we just thought we were having fun. We never disagreed (except that Kool-Aid made a delicious ice cream topping.) Rest in God's peace.

Sherry, it truly was a blessing getting to know you. Thank you for all the wonderful times we shared together. Thank you for introducing me to so many things I've never done before, there in your beautiful Wisconsin. Showing me the wildlife and educating me on so many things I never knew even existed. I was glad to show off a lil San Diego with you too. You brought me in as one of your own and for that I will always love you. You will forever live in my heart and you will be missed.

Sherry lived her life to the fullest and was an Angel to so many! I am grateful that my brother Craig had such a wonderful soulmate. She was his rock!
I am amazed at how Sherry truly showed up for life with her genuine smile, and her calm and loving presence at family gatherings, and so many challenging life situations. How grateful we are to have our lifes touched by this Angel!
Thank you God, for gifting us with Sherry. Her presence at future life events, or anytime, will be much appreciated!

When my life was in a fog (which was often) Sherry was the sunshine beaming rays of hope, humor and peace, which would filter through my fears to warm my soul and comfort me. Her friendship was unlike any other. Strong and fiercely devoted no matter what dopey thing I might do, the purity of her kindness seemed sourced straight from the heavens. She was ever-filled with compassion towards others, even when facing her own stressful trials. It got to the point where sometimes I would think to myself, WWSD? (What would Sherry Do?) I knew if I followed that path I would be doing the right thing. I will continue asking myself WWSD and I am certain that even though this beautiful being has left this earth, her compassion, strength, love and empathy shall always shine on. Not only within me, but all who were blessed enough to be part of her life. I love you, Sherry. God bless you, Nikki, Craig, Audrey and family.

Craig, my deepest sympathy to you and to your family and friends. You are in my thoughts and heart. Sherry was a wonderful person, and I'm proud to have known her. May God grant you peace and acceptance.

Craig, I know words aren't much of comfort at a time like this but I will be praying for you and your family. All I have to give is the Word of God from the Bible.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mom, I still don't want to believe this is real. I keep praying by tomorrow everything will be back to the way it was. You are my whole life, my best friend, my absolute everything. You are the best Mom in the universe - you are so great to me & everyone you meet. You're the kindest soul around. I can't believe I could've ever been so blessed to have YOU in my life. I don't know how I can be without you tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. I love you so much & will never stop thinking of you. You are my best friend Momma.
