I learned recently of Sherry's death - I knew her when she served on the Commission for Judicial Conduct - she was a well-regarded member with great integrity and kindness. A good judge and a lovely person. I miss her and my prayers go out to her family.

We will miss her. 20 years ago this month, Sherry and I attended New Judge Orientation together, and have been friends ever since. My prayers are with court staff, daughter Rachael, and Sherry's mom and family. Sherry and I sometimes would talk about God, and I know she is in a great place.
