Dear Rainey family,
There is no way to lessen the sorrow of losing someone so precious to your family as Mrs. Sheryl Rainey.
She was Daughter, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, a Great grandmother, cousin and friend of many and will be much remembered and much missed.
But, please remember that the Barnes family and friends care very much and wish your family strength and comfort at this sad time.
We have the greatest respect for the Rainey family.
As you grieve, know that we are remembering your family and honoring Sheryl's memory.
Sometimes it's hard to understand,
Why certain things must be.
But there's a reason for everything,
Beyond our power to see.
And we find comfort in our hearts,
To know the ones we love will find.
Eternal happiness and lasting peace,
In our great heaven.
We know that your family has the strength in them to move on. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Sheryl,
You were a mighty presence in our family. I can't imagine a family gathering without you. Your giving spirit, gift for gab, hearty laugh, and love for your family will always be remembered. We already feel the void your physical being left. But we know God is good and he has you! Fly among the angels.
Love,
Adriene
