My heart is breaking learning that she has passed.
We were Girl Scouts and then BBG members together.
Sherry, Nancy, Jackie and I did all the life things together for the years between ages 11 to 18, including being tent mates at Girl Scout camp.
The Oketo Park friends have memories that will always bring a smile.
Her memory is a blessing.

Dearest Elman Family, I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved Sherry. May her memory always warm your heart. Prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.

I am so sad to hear about Sherry. She & my mom, Nancy, were friends since they were little girls. I suspect theres quite a Maj Jong game going on in heaven. Much sympathy to Kevin & Stacy- we were all kids together. And Norm. I remember when you two met. Ill always remember Sherry. May she Rest In Peace. With Sympathy, Amy Goldberg (Nancy & Daves daughter)
