Greg, Sara and Tyler,
Over the years witnessing Sherry be a ”band parent” to many young folks in the Enka Band was so inspiring. She always took the time, always.
I was so very thankful when she took the time to write our boys as they began their service in the Air Force. Sherry shared so much love here on earth and that love will remain with us forever. May God hold you in his palms.

Sherry touched the lives of so many young people as well as adults. She truly lived a full and inspirational short life. One could see Gods love and grace in the life Sherry lived everyday. Greg, Sara and Tyler I know the void that is left in your life but please know how often she talked of each of you and the love she felt for you. She felt so blessed to have a loving husband (she once told me Greg was/is "The Love of her Life") and 2 amazing children. When she talked about you Sara and Tyler her love and pride for you both was so evident. I feel that God places people in each our lives for a reason and mine has been so enriched because of my friendship with Sherry. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers for ever.

Emory and I are so sorry for your loss. All of my wonderful childhood memories of growing up at Acton United Methodist Church are intertwined with my memories of Sherry. She was always there with her warmth and smile. As adults Sherry's family and my family attended Central United Methodist Church. I always looked forward to leaning over the balcony rail to wave at Sherry sitting in her usual spot. I will miss seeing her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of great sadness.
